Evening all, I've been running Testing on my Thinkpad X30 for a few years now and the video set up has often to be tweaked - it even worked once with NO xorg.conf which I believe is the ultimate aim for the developers of Xorg. That is fine and why we use Testing ;)
I am now having to use a default xorg.conf using vesa but HW acceleration is next to non existent as is to be expected I think. Flash player runs about 2 frames a second - even small videos. It used to, once upon a time, work fine. You can see the commented out "intel specifics" that were once recommended that dont work with Squeeze. With NO xorg.conf the laptop wont start : I just see a flickery cursor in the top left. ctl-alt-f1 etc doesnt switch it back to a working res/refresh either. I'm looking for some advice on how I should go about configuring the xorg.conf. The vesa one that works (slowly and tends to get corrupted after a few hours usage) is below. Is there some sort of utility which can create an xorg.conf for me that works properly with the 82830? Possibly someone out there has a working xorg.conf for this amazingly long lived little laptop? Thanks for your patience and any advice (1) lspci:- ,---- | 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 82830 830 Chipset Host Bridge (rev 04) | 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82830 CGC [Chipset Graphics Controller] (rev 04) | 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation 82830 CGC [Chipset Graphics Controller] `---- (2) Working xorg.conf (removing it leavces machine inoperable) ,---- | Section "ServerLayout" | Identifier "X.org Configured" | Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 | InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" | InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" | EndSection | | Section "Files" | ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules" | FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc" | FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/cyrillic" | FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/:unscaled" | FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/:unscaled" | FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1" | FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi" | FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi" | FontPath "/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType" | FontPath "built-ins" | EndSection | | Section "Module" | Load "dri2" | Load "glx" | Load "extmod" | Load "dri" | Load "record" | Load "dbe" | EndSection | | Section "InputDevice" | Identifier "Keyboard0" | Driver "kbd" | EndSection | | Section "InputDevice" | Identifier "Mouse0" | Driver "mouse" | Option "Protocol" "auto" | Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" | Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7" | EndSection | | Section "Monitor" | Identifier "Monitor0" | VendorName "Monitor Vendor" | ModelName "Monitor Model" | EndSection | | Section "Device" | ### Available Driver options are:- | ### Values: <i>: integer, <f>: float, <bool>: "True"/"False", | ### <string>: "String", <freq>: "<f> Hz/kHz/MHz" | ### [arg]: arg optional | #Option "NoAccel" # [<bool>] | #Option "SWcursor" # [<bool>] | #Option "ColorKey" # <i> | #Option "CacheLines" # <i> | #Option "Dac6Bit" # [<bool>] | #Option "DRI" # [<bool>] | #Option "NoDDC" # [<bool>] | #Option "ShowCache" # [<bool>] | #Option "XvMCSurfaces" # <i> | #Option "PageFlip" # [<bool>] | Identifier "Card0" | Driver "vesa" | # VendorName "Intel Corporation" | # BoardName "82830 CGC [Chipset Graphics Controller]" | # BusID "PCI:0:2:0" | EndSection | | | Section "Screen" | Identifier "Screen0" | Device "Card0" | Monitor "Monitor0" | DefaultDepth 24 | SubSection "Display" | Depth 24 | Modes "1024x768" | EndSubSection | EndSection | | | Section "DRI" | Mode 0666 | EndSection `---- regards r. -- ☘ http://www.shamrockirishbar.com, http://splash-of-open-sauce.blogspot.com/ http://www.richardriley.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
