Hello,
Go to this website and download the i810_drv driver for the i915. http://www.fairlite.demon.co.uk/intel.html
And
cd /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/
sudo mv i810_drv.o i810_drv.o.old
cp ~/i810_drv.o .
After this update your xorg.conf with i810 for the driver and restart x and hold your breath and it should work.
Here's another web site where I got this info. http://www.bram.be/travelmate_4651lci.html |
