thanks for emailing me back (again) -- you've saved me a bit of time! and this is where I have to admit something embarrassing: I don't know what Xconfigurator is or where to find it. I tried seting up my config file with /usr/X11R6/bin/xfree86Setup, i tried 24-bit color and then 16 bit color but both gave the same error. My monitor is an HP Ultra VGA 1280, and it's at work and i'm sure the manual was lost a long time ago. If there are refresh settings i need to get for this, I'm sure I could look them up.
so... should I try xconfigurator (and if so, where is it?) or do I need to edit something directly into my config file? I'll stop asking questions there before I get too vague and annoying. cheers, susan -----Original Message----- From: Teres Alexis, Alan Previn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 04 December 2001 15:54 To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [Newbie]XFree86 4.1.0 and intel810 chipset By the way .... I may have made a mistake... the file I provided is for the older XFree86 3.X.X - you're right.. you're supposed to be in the clear if you're using XFree86 4.X from the looks of the log file, it could be the monitor settings... did u manage to get XConfigurator to properly setup the XF86Config file? ..alan -----Original Message----- From: Teres Alexis, Alan Previn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, December 04, 2001 3:46 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [Newbie]XFree86 4.1.0 and intel810 chipset Attached here is the file I think you are referring to... if not, it should use a try... it worked like a charm for me and my colleagues for intel 810 based graphics systems... It requires u to download 2 files from Intel's site... 1 is a kernel module that needs a little recompilation and the other is an updated X server module... meant for 810. I have both of them but only in rpm format... ..alan -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, December 04, 2001 3:44 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Newbie]XFree86 4.1.0 and intel810 chipset Hello -- >From the number of posts I've seen on usenet, I'm sure this is not a new issue. I've just installed Slackware 8.0 (with XFree86 4.1.0) on a Dell GX110 with the intel810 chipset, and, as many before me, XFree86 is proving difficult to get working. First let me say, for some unknown reason I haven't been able to get to intel's website, so I cannot go take a look at support.intel.com/support/graphics/intel810/linuxsoftware.htm as suggested. I don't know if this is one of the censored sites in China (I have no idea why it might be) but it's been inaccessible to me for hours. Far longer than "normal" commercial website downtime. If anyone has the contents of this page and could send it on, it would be most appreciated. Otherwise, in my XFree86.0.log, I get various lines about "hsync out of range" and even a few "bad mode clock", then the "failed to load kernel module i810" and finally "Fatal server error: AddScreen / ScreenInit failed for driver 0". Most posts on usenet seem to indicate that XFree86 3.3.6 (pardon me if that version number is wrong) would correct this problem. Therefore, I thought I was in the clear with 4.1.0. Could someone please tell me if I still need to re-compile something to include support for the i810?
