Hello, First of all, let me thank you for all your hard work on the everybody's favourite X-window system!
To my question: what are my chances to have support for DVMT, as specified here: http://support.intel.com/support/graphics/intel830m/tti004.htm in any near future? You see, I've acquired a HP Omnibook 510 with the i830 graphics chipset (which is supported by XFree 4.2.0, thank you!), but the stupid BIOS will allocate only 1M of legacy video memory for the card. Thus I can get at best only 1024x768x8bpp in X. Needless to say, the Windows driver supports DVMT, and I can get full 32-bit resolutions in XP. One way around this would be to select more video memory to be allocated in the BIOS setup. Unfortunately the BIOS does not support that, and HP seems to be unwilling to fix the problem, as "Linux is not supported" - which is stupid since I received the laptop from a HP event with only Linux pre-installed. Intel acknowledges the potential problem in here: http://support.intel.com/support/graphics/intel830m/tti013.htm but I've yet to receive an answer from them on who could and/or would fix the problem. Would you guys have any insights on the problem? Does the problem lie in a kernel module, or in XFree, ie. who's the party I should bug about this? -- Henri Muurimaa _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
