Hi, I have a couple of notebook with intel graphic card which use the i810 X driver (i855GM and i915GM). There was a thread sometime ago in -stable where we discuss howto make the new i915 drm kernel module to work. There was a lot of confusion about this new kernel module, because it seems that the combination of different things (xorg, xorg-snap, dri-devel and so on) led to different results (often bad results :-). Now is arrived xorg 6.9.0 which have, at least, simplified the situation. What was used to work before: - xorg 6.8.2 --> updated to 6.9.0 - a drm patch found here: ftp://213.85.11.250/pub/drm3.patch - dri-devel doesn't work anymore. Now I ask a thing before I am driving crazy. Is there someone that is succesfully using the i915drm kernel module, i.e : device agp device drm device i915drm and is able to have opengl accel working ? Can someone suggest a working configuration ? The intel chipset is so widely spread now that is not possible to think that this module doesn't work in any way ? Thanks. -- Best Regards, Gianmarco Giovannelli http://www.gufi.org/~gmarco
