Hi, I recently purchased a Sony Vaio PCG-R505DL laptop. It uses the Intel 830M graphics chipset. I've gotten X working, by installing a new 2.4.18 kernel with the AGP GART module, and XFree86 4.2.0.
I can only get 8-bit color at 1024x728 however. The Intel documentation on their website says that the Linux driver for the 830M chipset only allows the video memory set aside by the bios as 'legacy' memory to be used. I'm wondering if anyone knows if there are any plans to fix this. I'd sure like to have better than 8-bit color. Thanks, Chris Collier -- Christopher Z.
