hello
I've got a samsung q35 (Centrino Duo) with the following graphics chipset:
[root@pmobilemg ~]# dmesg | grep agp Linux agpgart interface v0.101 (c) Dave Jones agpgart: Detected an Intel 945GM Chipset. agpgart: Detected 7932K stolen memory. agpgart: AGP aperture is 256M @ 0xc0000000
I installed the latest Fedora Core 5 and upgraded the kernel yesterday:

vesa driver is working, if I change to i810 I get the following error:

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.
Now if I can just get DMA working on the DVD drive, life will be good. (hdparm returns an error when I try and set it.)

What snapshot would be better to use for the 865G video? Would the i810 or the i915 snapshot be more appropriate?
Some earlier poster reported a blank screen with the stock install of xorg-x11 that Fedora maintains. I have no problem with my installation using the stock version.
Anyway, if replacing the stock with the snapshots works, bugs should be files in bugzilla for Fedora and the xorg i810 driver version.
I had to replace Fedora compiled versions with snapshots before. It is possible but needs repeated when the xorg-x11 driver for the i810 gets replaced.
Agreed that the difference between the vesa driver and the i810 are worth getting the i810 working either from using the snapshot or not.
When I had problems with the driver the i810_drv.so was all I replaced. The location of the driver is different for FC5. locate i810_drv /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/i810_drv.so
Does replacing the dri show any improvements? I am wondering because the blank screen problem for Intel video cards was with xorg component with my problem which was not a blank screen. /usr/lib/dri/i915_dri.so /usr/lib/dri/i810_dri.so
More curious and also hope to lead to getting the "one size fits all" Intel driver fixed for the many Intel video cards it supports. (And lead the other user with he blank screen to a solution.

Have you tried adding a noprobe option to the kernel command line? I had no luck enabling DMA on the dvd drive in my laptop until I did this. In /etc/grub.conf, I added hdc=noprobe to the kernel line. I forget some of the details at the moment, but if you have SATA disk drives that are seen as /dev/sd{a,b}, but the dvd is /dev/hdc (or hdd), then adding a noprobe may help you too.

Thanks. That did the trick. The DVD is now /dev/scd0 instead of /dev/hdc. I can now play DVDs and VCDs on the system!!! Something more to add to the page I am building an the A105-S4004. I will have to check CD/DVD burning, but I don't expect problems. Who know, I may get everything working one of these days...

All I can tell you is that I untared i915-20060403-linux.i386.tar.bz2 and ran the install script in it. It found the correct directory, and updated the files. As far as RPM is concerned, the /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/i810_drv.so file is owned by xorg-x11-drv-i810-1.4.1.3-3.1 and the /usr/lib/dri/i810_dri.so is owned by mesa-libGL-6.4.2-6. i810_drv.so was updated by the install script, and the i915_drv.so was added.
Now, when xorg-x11-drv-i810 gets updated, it will overwrite my updated file. But I am hoping that the updated driver will included in that release. If not, I'll have to replace it again. (I really should build an RPM with the updates...)

Thanks for the explanation, I did not realize the snapshots had scripts. I moved the files in the appropriate directories and set file permissions according to the replaced driver values when X was still monolithic.
Using scripts sounds a bit easier.

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?

You can come at this another way. I went to the development repo and got these:
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.0.99.901-6 xorg-x11-drv-i810-1.6.0-1 mesa-libGL-6.5-4 mesa-libGL-devel-6.5-4
Afterwards i810 was happy and I had some crappy 3D accel ~600fps in glxgears. YMMV! Evil repo munging abominations! Take care if you attempt to duplicate.
xv goes wrong after a few plays of video, still functions but there is a blue halo around stuff and the colours are broken. Still it's clear FC6 will be supporting it if we don't see xorg updates during FC5.
