Christian,
thank you for the investigation. It proves that we are not to blame.
It remains to see what should be done about it. Disabling the offending
function by default for all future doesn't seem to be a good idea as
the information retreived thru this function may be helpful when people
send

Googling the net I found these release notes by Intel

Hallo,
an interesting thing to know is whether there are i855GM notebooks by
other companies using the same BIOS build (3066) and if these show the
same problem.

No, there is no reference to Dell in the BIOS. I'm not even sure if they
configure the BIOS. I

Hi,
I just forgot to say, that BIOS build 3197 is newer than the one
installed on the new Dell machines (build 3066). So if it was an error
by Intel they already fixed it.

Hi,
as I already pointed out some of the users affected by the problem don't
want to or aren't able to build XFree86 out of the CVS sources.
So I wrote a small hack which wraps around int 0x10 and prevents the
function in question (ax=0x5f64, bx=0x0300) from being called. I'm aware
that that's a m
Hi,
Thank you Alain for sorting out this problem and Alan for commiting a patch.
Would it be possible to offer binaries or a small, easy to build source
package? I think many of the users affected by that problem can't build
or don't want to build the whole XFree86 from source.

Alain,
Can you try the int10 emulator ?
To do this, (re)move this file out of the way.
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/linux/libint10.a
Then XFree86 will use
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libint10.a
Which is the emulator. Does it still lockup with that BIOS call ?
Alan.

Hi,
as developer of 855patch I get a lot of feedback from people using
XFree86 on computers with i855GM graphics.
It seems like new notebooks by Dell feature a new video BIOS from Intel
(iirc Build 3066) which finally implements the int 0x10 0x5f11 function
to set the amount of video RAM and thus
23 matches
