 |
|
I compiled the 2.6.1-gentoo-r1 kernel with basically the same .config as my 2.4.22 kernel, but as the subject line sez, X11 dies trying to start kdm. The most telling lines in the XFree86 error log appear to be these (though they're not telling much that I can see!) :
| Code: |
(II) I810(0): Monitor0: Using hsync range of 31.50-79.00 kHz
(II) I810(0): Monitor0: Using vrefresh value of 60.00 Hz
(II) I810(0): Not using mode "1280x1024" (no mode of this name)
(II) I810(0): Not using built-in mode "640x480" (width too large for virtual size)
(EE) I810(0): No valid modes.
...
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.
|
X is reading the hsync range and the vrefresh values correctly from XFree86Config, but why the log then sez that there is no mode with the name "1280x1024" is a mystery to me, as I have 1280x1024 modes for 5 different color depths. I have made no changes whatever to XFree86Config. Why on earth would upgrading the kernel cause this error? It seems irrelevant, but clearly it isn't.
Any help/explanations/suggestions welcome.

| first of all did you a make oldconfig, after copying your old .config from the 2.4 dir to the one of 2.6 ? Do you use nvidia-kernel driver ? If so, did you recompile it into your new 2.6 kernel ? |

Well, "make xconfig", but same difference. The kernel compiles and boots without any problem.

No, I'm just using the generic Intel i810 graphics chip that came on the motherboard of my Dell 2400.
Thanks.

That was it. The i810 is specificied via a new config parameter. Found it. Works.
The 2.6 kernel config structures a lot of things very differently...
