patch for mkxf86config
Hi all,
It's me & my school with Dell Optiplex GX 150 machines again... I use the
Knoppix-4.0.2 CD and noticed two problems with the graphics card (Intel
Corp. 82815 CGC [Chipset Graphics Controller] (rev 02)):
1) There are a lot of pixel errors at the window decorations and menus.
2) Direct rendering is not available.
I solved problem 1 by including the following option in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
Option "XaaNoPixmapCache"
Problem 2 can be solved by explicitly loading the module intel-agp.
With the attached patch applied, the Knoppix CD runs like a charm on my
machines.
Greetings
Ronny
