Hi!
If You want to know what hapend last week with gentoo installation with kde4,
kde3, GTK+ apps without fonts I just want to say that it was xf86-video-i810
aka xf86-video-intel driver problem - EXA cards don't display correctly fonts
with EXA enabled. When Force XAA fonts come back. Also PageFlipping don't work
anymore with XAA/EXA. That issues don't exisit under experimental
xf86-video-intel driver from intellinuxgraphics.com/org or what ever. And what
makes me think it's all about driver? Hmm... I accidently install VESA driver
and in config (xorgconfig) I choose VESA thinking - why do not try? And Voila!
All done! Kde 3.5.8 working with no errors. Also applying some tweaks for
i965GM chipset:
Section "Device"
Identifier "** Intel i810 (generic) [i810]"
Driver "intel" # i810 is simlinked to intel so
not matter - it can be freely typed i810
# VideoRam 262144 # Not needed - card autodetect
Option "TripleBuffer" "true" # TripleBuffer works perfect
Option "AperTexSize" "131072" # resized texture memory for 3D
games and apps
Option "AccelMethod" "XAA" # only XAA works - must be
forced
# Option "PageFlip" "true" # not working correctly
Option "RenderAccel" "true" # because KDE 3.5.8 want's it -
not used by driver ;)
EndSection
This works perfect with maximized texture memory 128MB ;) ideal for UT2004.
Greetings,
Mateusz M.
