Hi, everybody i bought a new laptopt Gateway, core i3, intel video
card. I've tested ubuntu and mandriva without good video results. I
have installed Fedora 12, i'm using an external lcd samsung screen
on the vga port, it works fine. My display properties shows two
screen as well as the correct resolutions...the problem it that i
can't use my latopt screen, i have tried different resolutions..but
nothing. I can't use mi laptopt without an external screen. Even if
i boot without my external screen, my laptopt screen goes black
Could somebody give me some ideas about it? Because the Intel core
I3 is too new i couldn't find information over internet, mi lspci
shows that the card is an i915 based.
I have tried a lot of diferent things, but, i couldn't fix it.
Thank you
Here is some information about Intel and their video drivers relevant to
linux:
http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/CS-010512.htm
A driver is available for openSUSE. Go to this link and enter "i915"
(without the quotes), then select "ALL" in the selection box and click
on search. There is a mesa driver from the openSUSE build service.
Don't know if it will work in another distro.
