Ill load up the CURRENT branch and see how it works. Suprisingly, even the wireless card does not work. I'll post the updates after moving on to CURRENT. Mike, Just to be clear, 7.x != CURRENT. 7.0 is at the Release Candidate 1 stage right now and I've been using it successfully on my laptop, on my job, since last October/November. I'm not recommending that you go to -CURRENT, but to 7.x. -- Regards, Doug ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
915resolution on HP Compaq
Hi, I have an HP Compaq 6720s laptop. I am trying to get X to display at 1280x800 screen reolution. I first set it up using xorgconfig, but i failed to start X. I got an error saying intel: No matching device section for instance (BUS ID PCI:0:2:1) found GARTInt Unable to open /dev/agpgart (No such file or directory) I tried to use the 915resolution port and this is what it give me. # 915resolution -l Intel 800/900 Series VBIOS Hack : version 0.5.3 Intel chipset detected. However, 915resolution was unable to determine the chipset type. Chipset Id: 2a008086 Please report this problem to [EMAIL PROTECTED] # I know that i have the Intel x3100 card and then 965GM chipset. Has anyone managed to get X to display on a wide screen display at 1280x800 on this chipset? Any assistance is appreciated. Regards, -- Mike Of course, you might discount this possibility, but remember that one in a million chances happen 99% of the time. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you're running FreeBSD 7.x and Xorg 7.3, I recommend using the intel driver. 915resolution is not necessary with this driver. -- Regards, Doug ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you're running FreeBSD 7.x and Xorg 7.3, I recommend using the intel driver. 915resolution is not necessary with this driver. darn... there we go again, i forgot to give the version i am running. I have FreeBSD 6.3-STABLE, xorg 7.3_1 and yes with the x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel port installed. I fell back to 915resolution since this intel driver failed. I was hoping to get some joy with 915resolution, but realised that it does not support this chipset as well :-(. I deinstalled the intel driver and installed the i810 driver, but no joy either. Im back to the intel driver and i still cannot get 1280x800 done. every time i startx i get the error i described earlier. I checked and /dev/agpgart does not exist. Im sure i compiled my kernel with device agp. thanks for the assistance. Hi Mike, I had the same problems you were having on 6.2-STABLE and was not able to resolve them. IIRC, the intel driver works *correctly* on 7.x only. In my case, I also have an Intel wireless NIC that is also supported in 7.x only. These two issues forced me to 7.x and I've been working happily ever since.
