Hello I'm trying to get Xfree86 to run on my brand new Dell. Unfortunately it came with an on-board video card (Intel Extreme Graphics). I've tried just about everything I could reading message lists and googling around. I've installed the latest Xfree86-4.2.99.3, I've upgraded to the latest RedHat 7.3 kernel (2.4.18-19.7.x). I've been to intel's website which suggestes that I set the pre-allocated video board memory to 8MB. I've downloaded the latest BIOS-Flash for my motherboard and it doesn't give me an option to change the pre-allocated video. I've tried several video modes and the only one that seems to sort of work for a second is 640x480 w/ 256 colors. I type startx and (it seems to grab it's options from /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc) and i see a very basic x-windows set up with several windows. If I type exit in the top window X exits gracefully with no errors. If I type startx again I get a blank (black) background with nothing visible. If I type exit again, X quits without errors. I've tried the VESA drivers I've tried the i810 generic drivers that ccame with XFree86-4.2.99.3.
Does anyone have any other suggestions? I'd really appreciate any help anyone could provide. Thanks in advance --doug ><> _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
