Posted: Thu Jul 22, 2004 6:02 pm Post subject: Intel Graphics driver |
|
|
Hi!
I have this integrated graphics chipset inside my Laptop:
Code: | koxta@limbo koxta $ cat /proc/pci |grep VGA
VGA compatible controller: Intel Corp. 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 2). |
I am using the i810 driver for X, but I've noticed that Intel has released it's own dri driver. I decided to give it a try (maybe things would go faster then, you know ). So I downloaded the package from intel's site:
intelgraphics_060704.tar.gz
unpacked, ran install.sh. I proceed to the compilation part by clicking Enter. Then, horrible thing happens
Code: | ==========================================================================
The script will now compile the agpgart module and DRM kernel modules
for your machine.
Press ENTER to continue or CTRL-C to exit.
Compiling new agpgart module...
Compiling DRM module...
ERROR: Kernel modules did not compile
The DRI drivers can not be installed without the latest kernel modules.
Installation will be aborted. See the dri.log file for information on
what went wrong. |
dri.log says:
Code: | limbo src # cat dripkg/dri.log
rm -f *.o *.ko dristat drmstat .depend .*.flags .*.d .*.cmd
make: *** No rules to make `gdg.ko'. Stop. |
Well, I'm using kernel gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.7-r11. Anybody help, please?
Regards,

You are missing some files.
Does it need a common package with it?
I assume that it would. Try downloading it, and also untar into /usr/src. That is where I am supposed to untar into maybe everything is the same for you...
So download dri commons.
then untar into /usr/src.
Lastly run the installer.
If that does not work tell me!  _________________ CPU: 3800+ X2 (2.5Ghz)

Well, the older driver from Intel didn't need anything like that. Simply untar, install and go (well, after changing i810 to i830 in XF86Config - xorg.conf now). Could you please tell me what to do more precisely?
[EDIT]
Well, as written here:
http://support.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/CS-010512.htm
There is no need of downloading anything else

I am sorry. I do not know.
Did you compile your kernel driver as a module?
Are you running the right kernel at all?
I do not have experience with this card but I really wish I could help....
Maybe it needs Xfree instead of X.org...
Just some thoughts. _________________ CPU: 3800+ X2 (2.5Ghz)

i had the same error two days ago. i'm new to gentoo and it took me a week to get to that gnome screen. and i810 drivers failed with same error. when i rebooted, X crashed and it will not start with old drivers either. so i decided to install 2004.2 from scratch.
i have xfree and i have troble with mplayer showing blue screen. just to tell you why i wanted to install that driver set.
hope someone can help us |

You need to compile your kernel (2.6.*) to support your video card. You will find in the character device, to entries for intel, check both of them. In XF86Config you need to put i830 not i810 in the device section.
For that you have to emerge X.org, XFree has only i810. |

Hm, I have X.org, I have a module called i810.ko and i830.ko in /lib/modules-2.6.7-r11/kernel/drivers/char/drm/.
i810 works fine, but when I replace it with i830 in Xorg.conf, /var/log/Xorg.0.log tells me that there is no such module i830
What to do?

Hi there,
Not sure if you got this to work? I have entered an enhancement request with bugzilla to get the intel drivers working on gentoo.
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59490
I could not get them to compile either. I don't know if this will happen anymore though as the new X relseases 6.8 says that it now supports more of the functionality of the 855GM chipset.
http://www.freedesktop.org/bin/view/XOrg/XorgReleasePlan#Driver_updates
It seems to me the driver still goes by the i810 name though. I am not sure really how the X driver relates to the kernel i830 driver. Check your version of X. |

Hi there! As far as I know, the intel i830 driver has been ported into the 2.6 kernel tree. So if you add the ,,Load glx'' and ,,Load dri'' lines into the xorg.conf file (Driver i810), the i830 module will be loaded and used (check lsmod).

Well, I've taken no other steps to make my i830 work than compiling and using dri in kernel ;>

You want to tell me I can get more power out of my gpu? I have a Celeron 2,5GHz processor.
