Re: [Kris.VanHeurck@siemens.atea.be: i810 chipset on potato]
Sorry for old wrong mail.. :(( Dear Jim, I did the same thing you said because i had the same problem... But my debian couldnt find Glibc_2.0 package... I couldnt find anywhere so i decided to ask. Do you remember where did you fing it ? Intel's rpm requires that file... Any idea? Thanks in advance... I'm not sure if our two situations are similar, but a couple of months ago I had to install Debian (potato) on a Dell Optiplex, which has an on-board video card which uses the i810 chipset. It worked beautifully in the end, but the only way I found to make it work well was to use the version of the agpgart module available from the Intel site itself, along with the XFCom_i810 server from the same site (support.intel.com). There's a PDF document at the Intel site which provides very clear step by step instructions for all of this. I still have a copy which I'll be happy to mail you if you want it. I have a worry that having set the system up this way is going to complicate the upgrade to woody and XFree 2.4; but at the time it was the only solution that I could actually make work. And it worked really well. Jim -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Dear Paul You wrote to Kris You should upgrade the entire distribution to Woody. Do the following: Do i have to upgrade to woody? Cant i just use the potato and configure my x server with a i810 chipset? I've downloaded the rpm from the intel's site. Now i'm downloading the glibc but i was hoping that everything would be ok when i downloaded it...

Do the following: 1. change your /etc/sources.list to look like this: deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US testing/non-US main contrib non-free (you may use your favorite mirror if you wish) 2. issue the commands: apt-get update and: apt-get dist-upgrade if you run into any difficulties (the dependancies issue can get complicated, but you should't have any problems) try running: apt-get --fix-missing dist-upgrade 3. make certain you have the correct packages for xfree86-4.0 4. get the kernel-source-2.2.4 package XFree86 4.x are now in sync with each other.. what does this mean ? It means that the xfree86 developers are coordinating with the kernel developers. (and contributing code for the kernel agpart modules. re-compile and install the kernel from the 2.2.4 source. configure xfree86 (use xf86config -- despite what some may claim, it works well with xfree86-4) Start your xserver and have fun.
