It's just slow :-( I checked in my 2.6.18 kernel sources and they only support Intel chips up to the 945 family according to the documentation of the modules intel_agp and drm_i915. I did not find any mention of the 946/964 driver in the changelog for the upcoming 2.6.19 kernel. I am not sure about the status on freedesktop.org: http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/Intel (What does "includes 950" mean? I cannot find a 950 chipset on the Intel driver page. 946 < 950, but do they really mean that?) It seems to me that at the moment you have to either use the vesa driver or compile the newest Intel modules from CVS: http://intellinuxgraphics.org/documentation.html http://intellinuxgraphics.org/download.html -- Regards, Florian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
