Accelerated X with Intel i810 chipset ?

[anxion]

Hi there,

I'm using an Acer Travelmate 250 and I'd like to know
if there's a possibility to get an accelerated X-Server
and perhaps openGL support !?

thx amon

Heh! A problem I just wrestled with!

1) emerge xfree-drm if your kernel is 2.4 - 2.6 gives its own xfree drm drivers.

2) If it's 2.6, make menuconfig, and then enable Direct Rendering Manager under Character devices and then Intel I810.

3) Open /etc/X11/XF86Config in whatever editor, and add these lines:

first of all thx

Xfree-DRM didn't compile because i forgot to add the right
character device for my graphic chipset in kernelconfig.

I did that now and I'll try to compile it later...

I compiled my kernel with agpgart support built-in.

Now X is complaining that there's no agpgart module and no i830 module.

I'm compiling my kernel again with agpgart support as a module.

OOPS! Forgot to mention, include support for Intel 830M in agpgart also.

And if you're going the module way, add it to /etc/modules.autoload.
