 |
|
Hi,
I am using Intel X4500HD integrated graphs and in-kernel (git-sources-rc5-r9) intel drivers for X11. Xserver would load and my graphics card gets recognized in log, but it would only show a blank screen and sometimes reboots itself. The log shows nothing else interesting as it gets stuck after loading certain drivers and I can't tell exactly what the problem is.
The last line is
| Code: |
(II) intel(0): using SSC reference clock of 100 MHz
|
Under xorg.conf, I have nothing set under device besides the line using "intel" driver. Should there be something else?
On the other hand, vesa works perfectly for this card.
Does anything one else have intel drivers working for x4500hd? (I am guessing it's the kernel but I need the newest kernel to get my ethernet working).
Thanks a lot.

1. Did you run 'Xorg -configure' to see the defaults? (you should)
2. Try addin | Code: | | Option "Accel" "false" |
to your device section to see if it works without acceleration. |

Yeah thanks that would start X for me.
Any idea why acceleration would crash X? in-kernel graphics driver problem i presume?

1. Filing a bug at bugs.freedesktop.org might be a good idea - maybe first at bugs.gentoo.org.
2. Read 'man intel' and man 'exa' and play around with the settings.
3. I had bugs with distorted image on X3100 when using acceleration and disabling syncing to vblank fixed things. It's not in the xorg.conf. Since your xorg runs now I suggest that you do what I did a emerge yourself the driconf. A nice GUI tool 
Good luck. |
