 Posted: Wed Jul 19, 2006 9:03 pm Post subject: Kernel compile I128 driver |
 |
|
Hello:
I have an old rig I wish to bring back to life. After 52hrs of install, the machine is alive an kickin' (P2-400 w/ 384 RAM). However, there is a tiny-winy little problem - the video card Number Nine Revolution IV should use driver I128 which I cannot locate within the make menuconfig, in order to compile...
Could someone please help me with ponters as to where (section) to look for? I need to include it but could not find it with | Code: | | less /usr/src/linux/.config | grep 128 |
Thanks!

After kombing the net, I found out that I need xorg driver xf86-video-i128 in order to power in full my card. I do have it, | Code: | emerge -s i128
Searching...
[ Results for search key : i128 ]
[ Applications found : 1 ]
* x11-drivers/xf86-video-i128
Latest version available: 1.2.0
Latest version installed: 1.2.0
Size of files: 257 kB
Homepage: http://xorg.freedesktop.org/
Description: X.Org driver for i128 cards
License: xf86-video-i128

but I do not know how to install and use it? Will adding a VIDEO_CARDS="i128" line in my make.conf help me do this?

It looks like you already have that package installed.
You could always take a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see if the driver is actually being used. |
