Bug#386370: xserver-xfree86: intel 945 chipset not supported [i810]



Hi Brice,
sorry for being late in answering your message - I was too sick to touch any computers for weeks...

Concerning the said bug I decided to live with it - using default vesa setting - I'm not brave enough to deal with testing/unstable Debian versions. I want to USE my computer. Tinkering with the basics, kernels, drivers... annoys me. If it wasn't LINUX I would throw it all away. But it's LINUX - so I found workarounds. Managed the system to fulfill my minimal needs resp. dispensed with. At the moment I can see enough on the screen, I even managed to HEAR something, got bluefish to write scripts, htmls and GTK-source - so why bother about e.g. the facts that there is no Debian-stable-built-in Java SDK and no Eclipse either.

As I said: I'm living with it, get used to it, gain experience by exploring. Maybe some times I'm fit enough to build my system from scratch. But until then I'm looking forward to Debian to develop.

It's ups and downs, but in general I appreciate and admire the work you linux guys do all the time.
Thanks

Mechthild

Hi,

Did you by chance try Xorg 7.1 currently in testing? If works very well
on my Intel 945. So I think we should be able to close this bug now.
