Hello! I've finally started trying to get my i830m in a Dell Latitude C400 to display more than 256 colours at 1024x768. Currently I'm using fbdev which is working fine.
When I tried to run XFree86 (version 4.2.0) configured to use the "i810" driver I was told to make sure /dev/agpgart was available. So I compiled the "agpgart" module (did that with both a 2.4.18 and a 2.4.19 kernel) with "Intel ... /I830M/ ... support" and "Intel .../I830M (on-board) support" turned on. However, when trying to load the module, I am told via syslog: Aug 22 19:49:16 lilith kernel: Linux agpgart interface v0.99 (c) Jeff Hartmann Aug 22 19:49:16 lilith kernel: agpgart: Maximum main memory to use for agp memory: 438M Aug 22 19:49:16 lilith kernel: agpgart: no supported devices found. Any idea what might be missing? TIA, Marcus -- Marcus C. Gottwald ยท http://www.inf.fu-berlin.de/~gottwald/
