I recently acquired a Dell Inspiron 2600 laptop on which I need to run
RedHat V7.2. V7.2 comes with XFree86 V4.1.0, so I grabbed the source for
4.2.0 and rebuilt and installed it. The build and install seemed to go
with no problem.
"XFree86 -configure" generates a ton of "Symbol xxxxx from module yyyyy is
unresulved!" messages and dies with a Signal 11. If I remove all the
drivers except the i810 driver I get "Symnbol XAAxxx from module
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/i810_drv.o is uresolved" where "xxx" is
"Init" and "FillSolidRects". Then it dies again with a Signal 11.
I then used xf86configure to configure it to use the "i810" driver. X
starts up with a garbled screen, then dies with the errors:
(EE) GARTInit: Unable to open /dev/agpgart (No such device)
(EE) I810(0): Ring buffer allocation failed
Fatal server error:
AddScreen/ScreenInit failed for driver 0
"/dev/agpgart" does exist, but there doesn't appear to be a device to
correspond to it. Trying to load the kernel module via "modprobe" gives
"init_module: No such device" errors and the module does not load.
Trying to load the "i810" module also fails: "init_module: Cannot allocate
memory".
I have included the files:
x.log result of "X -fbbpp 16 -xf86config XF86Config"
xf86configure.log result of "XFree86 -configure"
XF86Config my attempt at a configuration file, modified from
the one generated by "xf86configure"
Anyone got X running under RedHat 7.2 on a Dell Inspiron 2600??
Thanks!!
Mike
