I tried this before, but had no luck. I installed the very basic version of FreeBSD. No X. I am going to try this again and try the i810 drivers. what packages do I need to get X working: XFree86-Server-4.1.0_1 XFree86-libraries-4.1.0 XFree86-4.1.0_7 freetype2-2.0.4 anything else? Hope you will post your experience. Good luck. _Dinesh >From: "Mario Doria" <madd@tecdigital.net> >To: "Conrad Sabatier" <conrads@home.com>, <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org> >Subject: Re: XFree86 4.1.0 -- Intel i810 driver needs kernel support >Date: Thu, 18 Oct 2001 19:24:15 -0600 > > > I'm trying to help a friend configure his X server under FreeBSD >4.4-STABLE > > with XFree86 4.1.0 (installed from the ports collection). > > > > Anyone know what this AGP GART stuff means and/or how to configure it >into > > the kernel???
