Hi, I have a laptop with the VIA Chrome 9 HC IGP CN896/VN896/P4M900 as my video card (on-board) and my OS is Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala, i386 arch.
I am not able to find a suitable linux driver for it, I am temporarily using vesa driver. I tried downloading the driver from the sites 1. http://www.via.com.tw/en/support/drivers.jsp 2. http://linux.via.com.tw/support/downloadFiles.action After download, it says that the downloaded .tgz file is not in a valid gzip format in both the links. The data in http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/VIA/Chrome9+HC+IGP claims that my graphics card driver is 'via-agp' and is supported in debian. I also tried looking up on OpenChrome, but it claims it does not support OpenGL. Does anyone have the linux driver which supports 3D acceleration with OpenGL support for this video card (or atleast the link from which they downloaded it)? I have been searching for quite sometime, and I'm not successful. I have also tried installing the mesa 7.5.2 package, but I didn't find any difference. -- Cheers, Hrishikesh Murali _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email [email protected] with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
