I also have some contacts at Intel now, albeit in entirely the wrong group; they might be able to pass me along to someone though. Also, I think I know in broad strokes what it is that broke video for me. I seem to remember that once upon a time, there were two drivers one could load for the i830 - the current driver, or the old i810 driver (which is still there). The current driver never worked for me, but the i810 driver did. That doesn't work anymore, but I might be able to cargo-cult the older i810 driver code that supported the i830 into the new driver. > Cool, well even if you get stuck or run short on time, please report > back with what you found and how far you got; possibly you can help give > the next guy that looks at it a leg up, or else someone might have a bit > of know-how that can unstick you. > Well, it'd be more a question of whether I can get to it at all; my life is a little crazy these days. :-S But we'll see; I'd really like to get my old Thinkpad running as a netbook! -- Ubuntu-x mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-x
