Hi Wesley, How's the war wounds??? There are restricted drivers available under (k)ubuntu for the i810, etc intel chipsets. Alternatively, if it's a modern one ( like the G43 embedded stuff on my - failed yet again - server motherboard ), then you may need to take more drastic action. http://www.intellinuxgraphics.org/install.html is what I was working from - just after the 2D drivers. Got it working once, then couldn't create and use /dev/agpgart. ( And then, like I said, it broke again... are gigabyte mobos really this bad? ).
And resorted to vesa drivers. This was on a ubuntu 8.04.1 server build. hth, Steve On Tue, 16 Sep 2008 14:44:47 +1200 (NZST) Wesley Parish <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi. > > I've just installed Kubuntu 7.10 desktop on an Asus laptop (c. 2008 vintage) > for > someone at St Albans.
