Re: i810 driver problem SOLVED

I did notice some discussion yesterday about i810 but I thought it was relevant just for upgrading not for the new installation. Any input or suggestion will be appreciated. Predrag Punosevac I solved the problem after careful examination of .log file. The default color depth of the xorg.conf file is 32 which is unsupported by i810 driver according to xorg message. Setting up DefaultDepth 16 in the section Screen will take care of the problem. Changing syn vertical and horizontal syn rates is not enough. Old DeLL dimension with FreeBSD 7.0 beta 1.5 looks to me like new:-) I thank to all of you who tried to help me out.

Re: i810 driver problem
I was monkeying around with the xorg.conf.new file and I was able to get going X -config /root/xorg.conf.new. However when I cp /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf.new and startx the X would start without clients and then would crush within a second. I could just see various colors all over the place. I assume you did #cp /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/xorg.conf? (not /etc/xorg.conf.new) Best regards, Tino Engel pgp5xZ3CRCvVv.pgp Description: PGP signature

Stupid question (especially since I dunno much about 7.0 yet), but you did have agp_load=YES in loader.conf, and /dev/agpgart was created successfully? Note that I suppose it's possible this isn't necessary in 7.x, but it has been in the other branches for a Long Time Now(tm).

Note that I suppose it's possible this isn't necessary in 7.x, but it has been in the other branches for a Long Time Now(tm). Yes I did have agp_load=YES. I have done some additional testing last night on that machine. First of all I tried OpenBSD 4.1 and I could start x even without xorg.conf file which is usually true in OpenBSD but the XOrg version is 6.9. Then I did fresh installation of 7.0 and and did pkg_add -r Xorg. I was monkeying around with the xorg.conf.new file and I was able to get going X -config /root/xorg.conf.new. However when I cp /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf.new and startx the X would start without clients and then would crush within a second. I could just see various colors all over the place. Then I tried to use xorgconfig utility and created xorg.conf file with very conservative options ( I decreased the number of colors) This time when I started x everything was fine for about 3 seconds and then crash again and colors all over the place. (kernel is also frozen) I think I am getting somewhere but I need to play with this thing longer. For some reason when I xorgcfg -textmode I would get reply that the command is not recognized. I will check this again. I will try couple other things. I will also try to install 6.2 stable and see if I can get Xorg going. This is an old DeLL dimension computer and the monitor I was using is Sony trinitron 15in. I will try with my 17in DeLL monitor to see if that makes any difference. Then I tried PC-BSD 1.4 which is 6.2 stable from July and everything went without a hitch. I checked xorg.conf and I saw that the listed driver is Xf86-video-intel-2.1.1 Should I try to install Xf86-video-intel-2.1.1 and then just try to hand configure xorg.conf file.
