I had the same sort of problems you did... actually, I'm not sure I ever even got X to come up properly using the i810 driver with XFree 3.3.6 and kernel 2.2.x.

i810 AGP Video Card LockUps w/XFree86!
I am attempting to get potato to run on a machine with an onboard i810 (Intel) video card. I installed potato onto a blank system, installed the SVGA X server, and installed the necessary agpgart.o module. Before testing the X server, I compiled a new 2.2.19 kernel and then compiled the agpgart.o module against that. I got the source for that module from the X Strike Force web page (Debian XFree86 info page). I configured the XF86Config file as instructed and fired up Xwindows. At first everything appeared to work fine. I was able to run at 1152x864 at 24 bit color w/o a problem and the picture looked just fine. I was able to run a gnome desktop and applications without any problems. That is until about 5-10 minutes passed, when the entire system locked up (not just the console, it fell of the network as well). I tried a few more times, but whether I was in X or not, 5-10 minutes after starting X for the first time, the system would lock up. If I was at the console when it happened, there were no kernel messages. I then did some research and found that Intel had their own version of the SVGA X server for this card. I downloaded it, and installed it in place of Debian's SVGA X server. Once again started up X, once again it appeared to work fine, and once again it would crash within 5-10 minutes. At this point, my only options appears to be to try a 2.4 kernel and XFree86 4.0, but I am not too hopeful. Is there any one else out there who have gotten the i810 AGP video card to work with potato, and if so, how did you do it?

Re: AGP video on motherboard?
It should work fine. http://www.xfree86.org/cardlist.html lists your card in x 3.3.3.1 so you may have to upgrade. Peter Allen Chrisopher D.

If you want to know if a video card is supported, you have to check out the XFree86 compatibility. Usually if a certain card or chip set is supported, the AGP version is supported, so you can use it in X. If you are in doubt about a certain card, just ask around on the various mailing lists and news groups. If you want to use a card right now, it is usually a bad idea to pick one that is only going to be supported `real soon now'. Another matter is support of the specific feature that AGP was meant for: storing textures in main memory and sending them to the video card at high transfer rates. I don't know if there is any support for that. HTH, Eric Meijer -- E.L. Meijer ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Eindhoven Univ. of Technology Lab. for Catalysis and Inorg. Chem. (SKA)

The cards based on the nVidia 128 work fine and dandy (Diamond Viper, STB Velocity, et al) in AGP using the standard XFree86_SVGA server.

Re: AGP Video Cards?
SuSE recently released a server for the G200. This will probably make it into the next release of XFree86, but for now it is "beta". My previous experience with using SuSE servers with Debian (the then new nVidia server) was favorable. But unless you are pretty good at setting up X, I suggest you stick with with the official XFree86 servers, all of which, I think, are available in hamm.

AGP Video Cards?
I'm trying to get a good AGP video card to work with Debian 2.0. Looking at the list of supported cards in the xf86config utility I see the "matrox Milenium II (AGP)." However this card seems hard to find now since it's been replaced by the new one G200. Does anybody know if this new card is supported? Any advice on any other AGP card? Thank you, -- Pedro I.

Don't know about GGI, but I just installed debian 2.0 on a system with a Diamond Viper 330 AGP. It works fine with the svga xserver, on 8, 16, and 32 bit color depths, except that in the 32 bit depth the screen shows some flicjkering pixels when there are changes on the screen (like moving a window, or running xaos in autopilot mode).

AGP Video Card
I have used and installed suse's Xserver now. It seems to be working fine. I.e it recognizes my video card and gives me good resolution. Only thing is it seems i have a virtual display or something because when i ut my mouse on the edges of the screen it scrolls around. Is there a way to make your display only the size of the screen and not larger and crooable all aover?

The X provided in /usr/X11R6/bin is a script which checks for some security issues (are you allowed to run the X server? e.g.) and finally calls the Server mentioned in /etc/X11/Xserver. The Debian Way(tm) is leave /usr/X11R6/bin alone and edit /etx/X11/Xserver.

Re: AGP video card (fwd)
Hi, > page. One thing they don't tell you though that you have to do under > Debian is delete the 'X' bin that should be in /usr/X11R6/bin and then > just link the Elsa_GLoria bin (XSuSE_Elsa_GLoria I believe) to 'X'. I really don't think that is a good idea. Debian created that "X" as an suid wrapper for X servers so that the server wouldn't have to be suid. I have the same card (Fire GL 1000 Pro) and am using the server the "standard" Debian way. Instead of deleting Debian's "X," I would leave that X there and modify /etc/X11/Xserver to make Debian use the new X server (XFCom_3DLabs). You will also probably need to use SuSE's xf86config program. The last time I checked there was no new XF86Setup program that would work with this server, and the current stable XF86Setup program doesn't seem to work with this server (at least for me). When you run SuSE's xf86config, you should probably answer "no" to the question of whether you should install a symbolic called "X" to XFCom_3DLabs since this functionality is handled by Debian's "X" and the /etc/X11/Xserver file. As some one else on this list sayed, this X server is not very stable yet. I have had some problems with it. Again, I really don't think you should erase Debian's "X." If you do erase it, you may have problems later on when the Permedia2 X server becomes stable and becomes part of the XFree86 distribution meaning that it will eventually become a Debian package. When this happens, the lack of Debian's "X" will probably mean that future installations of XFree86 will not install properly. -Ossama -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
