But probably this is machine-dependent. Yeah, it will be different. You may want to check your BIOS to be sure it's on the right irq, and not sitting with a com port(irq 3 is com2 by default), maybe disabling com2 might help too.

This cannot possibly be dependent on the monitor I use. I'm sorry, I forgot the Screen section to the XF86Config... maybe you have DefaultDepth 8 set... Section Screen Identifier Screen 1 Device i810 Monitor monitor0 DefaultDepth 24 It's not, for the most part, color depth is driven the XF86Config,(afaik, that's it, unless your monitor can't handle the H and V synch rates, make sure you check on that, as I'm not sure), make sure you've read this chapter of the handbook, http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x11.html as well as, http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-config.html which has a section on the i810 chipset at the bottom.

These are kernel options, LDT #allow user-level control of i386 ldt (which is needed for X afaik) and agp # AGP GART support is i810 extention, afaik). If you haven't compiled a kernel with those options, I think LDT is in GENERIC,(or loaded the agp.ko module) you're going to have to. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html The handbook entry on compiling the kernel.

Hi, After several days of fighting the @!*# Intel i810 chip, I wonder why I had this really BAD LUCK. There are hundreds of various graphic cards but I got the only one that does not work. The system installation program does not give me any working configuration. The best I could get was some ugly display with standard VGA, configured by XFree86 -configure. Then, after a lot of incredibly boring tinkering I got some kind of 800x600 display, too high and too much to the left. The xvidtune was working very bad. Did not react to mouse clicking for the most of the time and it was impossible to do anything meaningfull. Did anyone succeed with this Intel i810e chip and 1024x768 resolution at all?

It seems that the X-Windows configuration problem is caused not only by the Intel i810 chip, but also by the monitor, Targa Multiscan TM 1480, which is rather old and probably the system cannot ask it for necessary information.

Re: Intel i810e graphic
Windows 3.11. Are you using that now? No probably not. Does 9X, 2000, or any other new M$ breed work? That would be interesting. Sometimes old hardware is sure nice to have around as a spare, but at $200.00 for a decent monitor that includes all horiz/vert timings I'd say maybe it's time to move on. As a side, I consider having the opportunity to modify my monitor's scan rates quite a bonus and something as the owner of the hardware/software should be allowed to do. Not rely on some companies 'default should work for everyone' profile. I am using 815e and had similar difficulties to the ones you talked about. After a few weeks of research I figured it out and am happy with the results. Was I frustrated? Yes at the time. Is it FreeBSD/developers fault or even XFree86? Nope. Notta. I know that much more now and in fact have two video cards in my box supporting two monitors off of the same X... All learned while working on figuring out my 815e problems. My 2 cents. R.
