hi,

i'm trying to configure linux on a sony pcg-r600hfpd.
as per the intel instructions, i've upgraded my kernel
[originaly 2.4.10, redhat 7.2] to 2.4.18. 

i've compiled with intel i810/i815/i830m (on-board)
support and, in the drm drivers, enabled intel i810.
i've also tried compiling this as a module from the
xfree86 4.2 source. [4.2 is installed].

no matter what configuration i try, i always get the
same error: "no matching modes found in the
configuration file. only the following modes are
supported by the bios in this bpp: 640x480". 

above this error is a warning: "i810: no matching
device section for instance (BusID PCI:0:2:1) found",
though on the next line of the log file it says that
the chipset is found.

has anyone else seen this? i can run vesa in 1024x768
but the windows manager won't start, i just get a
couple of windows without scrollbars - obviously a
sick puppy.i've been tearing my hair out with this for
about two weeks now. any advice gratefully received.

thanks
