video intel 82865G

[Jeffrey Ross]

not sure if you are having the same or related problem that I had with an
Intel Motherboard.  My system used the 82G965 video controller.

The solution was to install the newest X drivers for the video controller.

In order to do this you will need in addition to the standard development
tools loaded:
git-core (and/or???) git-clone  (not sure if its both or one is incorrect)
xorg-x11-server-sdk

then get all three items from:

http://intellinuxgraphics.org/download.html  (the files are actually on
freedesktop.org)

I rebuilt all three, I believe Mesa first then DRM and lastly
xf86-video-intel.

NOTE:  If your running x86_64 your libraries will be in /usr/lib64.  This
gave me a hard time as everything by default wants /usr/lib or
/usr/local/lib so make sure you adjust the install scripts accordingly

Once I installed the new driver I was able to run mplayer and realplayer,
prior to this the X screen would go blank and randomly drawn garbage at
the bottom of the screen.

Good luck.
