(sorry for my english)Hi all, I just installed RH 8.0 on a machine and first off had problems getting X server up since the cpu uses rather recent Intel's gfx chip i845G and I had to update glibc to 2.3.x (because xfree 4.3 needs it), and then the XFree 4.2 to 4.3.
Following this, I got the x server configured but the DRI keeps failing to start up (despite the fact I got agpgart running). Here's the snippet out of the xfree log:
(II) I810(0): initializing int10 (WW) I810(0): Bad V_BIOS checksum (II) I810(0): Primary V_BIOS segment is: 0xc000 (II) I810(0): VESA BIOS detected (II) I810(0): VESA VBE Version 3.0 (II) I810(0): VESA VBE Total Mem: 832 kB (II) I810(0): VESA VBE OEM: Brookdale-G Graphics Chip Accelerated VGA BIOS (II) I810(0): VESA VBE OEM Software Rev: 1.0 (II) I810(0): VESA VBE OEM Vendor: Intel Corporation (II) I810(0): VESA VBE OEM Product: Brookdale-G Graphics Controller (II) I810(0): VESA VBE OEM Product Rev: Hardware Version 0.0 (II) I810(0): Before: SWF1 is 0x00000101 (II) I810(0): After: SWF1 is 0x00000108 (==) I810(0): Default visual is TrueColor (II) I810(0): Allocated 128 kB for the ring buffer at 0x0 (II) I810(0): Allocating at least 512 scanlines for pixmap cache (II) I810(0): Initial framebuffer allocation size: 5120 kByte (II) I810(0): Allocated 4 kB for HW cursor at 0x7fff000 (II) I810(0): Allocated 4 kB for Overlay registers at 0x7ffe000 (0x0cde1000).

What I noticed is that there is some kind of discrepancy between kernel i830 module and the dri module, but am wondering how is this possible when I just installed the new XFree server which should have all these modules built-in. Could it be that my kernel has the i830 module compiled into the kernel? If so, what do I need to do to recompile the kernel? Is there a source included in the RH 8.0?
Is there an easier way to do this?
Any help is greatly appreciated! Sincerely,
Ico

I've got the same problem on Slackware 8.1, but I didn't resolve it.
I used XFree 4.3.0 and kernels 2.4.18, 2.4.20 and 2.5.65.
It should be also noticed that XFree86 says that it was compiled to kernel 2.4.20.
