Hi on my laptop (Sony Vaio R600HMK http://mobilix.org/sony_r600hmk.html), I could not get XFree 4.2.1 running in [EMAIL PROTECTED], only at 8 bpp. Or I could get it running in [EMAIL PROTECTED] After fiddling around with some driver binary for the i830 and a little program which did weird stuff with your memory, I wanted to try the new 4.3 release. It claimed to have proper support for the i830 shared memory gfx chip. Since there are no Debian GNU/Linux packages available yet (January 2003), I have decided to grab the current cvs from XFree86.
This process was now documented by Sebastian Henschel and I have made some minor additions, see http://mobilix.org/debian_xfree43.html Your recommendations or criticisms to improve the HOWTO are welcome.
