I installed the latest Fedora Core 5 and upgraded the kernel yesterday:
Did you update xorg stuff as well ? Or all updates ?
yea, updated everything.
(II) I810: Driver for Intel Integrated Graphics Chipsets: i810, i810-dc100, i810e, i815, i830M, 845G, 852GM/855GM, 865G, 915G, E7221 (i915), 915GM, 945G (II) Primary Device is: PCI 00:02:0 (--) Assigning device section with no busID to primary device (WW) I810: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:0:2:1) found (EE) No devices detected.
Fatal server error: no screens found
does anyone know how to fix that?
Looking at: http://wiki.x.org/wiki/FAQErrorMessages section 1.7.1, Either the driver set is not the correct driver or it is the best fit but not yet supported. I see the i810 mentions 945G but not 945GM. They might be close enough to be able to hack the detection into thinking you have a 945 ?
Is the graphics chip in pci-ids.txt: # lspci -v -s 00:02.1 What is the pci-id ? # lspci -n -s 00:02.1

Coming into this late, but this may help. What I did on my Toshiba laptop to make it work was to get i915-20060403-linux.i386.tar.bz2 from http://dri.freedesktop.org/snapshots/. Make sure you only install that file, and not the common-20060403-linux.i386.tar.bz2 file, or you will break things. (I ended up with a blank screen and had to get rid of the files from common-20060403-linux.i386.tar.bz2.) You then pick the i810 driver. It gives you much better video then using the VESA driver. You are installing a replacement i810 and an i915 module.
I just downloaded i915-20060403-linux.i386.tar.bz2 and installed it and it works replacing "vesa" driver with "i810", thanks alot! I setup xorg with external monitor using the Xinerama option. But it seems that 3D acceleration is not working:
# glxinfo | grep rendering direct rendering: No
is that because of the Xinerama option or do I have to enable something in my xorg.conf to enable direct rendering?
