xfree 4.01 & i810
Hi,
We (the university & I) recently set up a system with a matsnic MS7012D
board, that includes the intel i810 chipset. I installed
Storm 'Rain' and updated to Potato. I couldn`t get anywhere with
xfree86 3.3.6? and agpgart so I installed the latest 2.4 kernel
(test8). The system boots fine, but xfree freezes, with the default
modes, also with modelines I have put in. What I get
is four pieces of twm on the screen: the left half is covered with an
xterm screen from top to bottom. On the left half of the screen are two
xterms starting about a cm down, one on top of the other. In the upper
right-hand corner is a piece of an xterm with a clock. I have
experimented with sync timings and line lengths with no improvement
(sometimes the right hand xterm gets bigger). The mouse pointer is
frozen in the middle. I have tried some options in XFree86Config:
NoAccell, SWCursor and Dac6bit. They don't do anything. There are no
errors listed in /var/log/XFree86.0.log, although it mentions an unknown
Intel chipset (0x7125). At this point I'm lost - does anybody know
what's going on?
Jim
