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. (not sure if that
will help, but it can't hurt)

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.

Not a problem, let's make sure this stays on the list,
 so others that have similar issues can use(if it
helps) the info here.

I assume that "knoppix" fits onto a CDROM (without having
checked).  IIRC (and who knows?) I believe I had my i815 working
at 1280x1024 before my 17" tube went south--(bad v. regulator)--
and I had to use a 15" generic CRT at 1024x768. 

With the expertise that has been share around on this list 
re the i810, I've got my /etc/XF86Config working at 1024x768.
(I'll share it with anyone who wants or post it on my website
and give the URL)

I have a 19" tube now, and would like to drive it at a higher
resolution.  Nothing I seem to know, tho, seems to get me more
than 1024x768.  

(??)

Getting hardware detection working well for every single chipset out there is 
pretty tough.   The i810 is pretty common, but pretty wacky too it seems.

This'll sound funny, but try knoppix.  It has amazing hardware autodetection.  
Boot with it then save your Xfree config file (it's in the same place) to 
floppy or something.  Copy that over to FreeBSD and it'll likely work once 
you've followed the other suggestions people have had.  You may need to edit 
out some of the font dir's that aren't installed on your FreeBSD system, but 
that should be about it.

get knoppix at:
http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html
or google for knoppix mini iso, as there are some of those out there for a 
smaller download.

Anyway that's how i finally got my Xfree config to work perfectly with my 
monitor/video card

Re: Intel i810e graphic

2003-03-08 Thread YOU

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.

Well, the system doesn't ask it for information. You need to put the 
appropriate horizontal and vertical sync rates in the Monitor section.

searching google didn't turn up the relevant info for this monitor though, Do 
you have the users manual? that should have the relevant info in it. There's 
also a Monitors file in /usr/X11R6/doc in XFree86 3.3.x, but it doesn't have 
info for your monitor and seems to have dissappeared in XFree 4.x

Somehow the old Windows 3.11 worked very well with my monitor
in all avaliable resolutions 640x480, 800x600 and 1024x768.

I didn't have to know anything about timings, clocks, vertical

Re: Intel i810e graphic

2003-03-08 Thread Miroslaw J. Wiechowski
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.

I could achieve 640x480 display by putting "Modeline" in the
monitor section, after some experimenting.

However, mode 800x600 works badly, the image is shifted to the
left and it cannot be helped with xidtune tweaing. I tried 
several configuration variants.

Mode 1024X768 is impossible to get.

Well, perhaps it's time to say goodbye to FreeBSD after such
short acquaintance...

I had to goof around with the mouse part of my config to get my Micro$oft  
PS/2 intellimouse (Dell branded) to work.  here's the relevant section:

Section "InputDevice"

# Identifier and driver

Identifier  "Mouse1"
Driver  "mouse"
Option "Protocol""auto"
Option "Device"  "/dev/psm0"
EndSection

Are you running moused on the console? That's caused problems for me before.

Make sure you've got the right specs for your monitor. Things either A) won't 
work or B) go very boom! if they're wrong.

hmm, that VideoRam 25000 line looks odd. I'm pretty sure XFree86 wants the 
video ram as a multiple of 1024. In my config file the VideoRam line is 
commented out. That might be something to try. See if you can find the amount 
of actuall vram used on your system.

Here's the section from my Dell OptiPlex GX110:
Section "Device"
Identifier  "intel i810"
Driver  "i810"
Option  "NoDDC"
#VideoRam4096
# Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate

Another thing to try is getting all your specs (monitor, vram, mouse etc.) and 
using /usr/X11R6/bin/xf86config to reconfigure X. (Back up the old 
/etc/X11/XF86config file first).

Thank you very much for your help.

I added the NoDDC option.

First time I got _some_ picture. It's resolution was too low
(800x600), the picture was much too high and moved to the left,
leaving an empty room on the right side of the screen.

The mouse didn't work properly - it reacted erroneously or did 
not react at all. After a while the whole system crashed.

The next time the system crashed at once and gave a core dump.

Third attempt: the situation repeats. Wrong picture, wrong
resolution, mouse does not obey... but no crash... 
However I have to go to the console and kill X-Windows with
Ctrl-C because I am not able to operate the graphical desktop.

Just as a data point my workstation needs the "Option "NoDDC" "True" line to 
work. you also need agp support in the kernel, either compiled in or loaded 
as as module.

I don't think the system installation program gives *anyone* a working 
configuration.  At least, I've always had to tweak the XF86Config file 
myself.  That being said, the i810 works fine, once it is set up 
properly.  

To get you started, here's the relevant section from my XF86Config file:

Section "Device"
# from config.new:
### Available Driver options are:-
### Values: : integer, : float, : "True"/"False",
### : "String", : " Hz/kHz/MHz"
### [arg]: arg optional
#Option "NoAccel"   # []
#Option "SWcursor"  # []
#Option "ColorKey"  # 
#Option "CacheLines"# 
#Option "Dac6Bit"   # []
#Option "DRI"   # []
#Option "NoDDC" # []
#Option "XvMCSurfaces"  # 
---end insertion 
Identifier  "Card0"
Driver  "i810"
VendorName  "Intel"
BoardName   "i810"
BusID   "PCI:0:1:0"
#   Option  "NoDDC" "True"
#   Option  "NoInt10" "True"

I don't now if you read the X chapter of the handbook 
(www.freebsd.org/handbook), but there is a special section for the 
i810 chip. You need to enable something in the kernel or the loader or 
something.
