Inspiron 2600 - i830 driver
hello,
just in case it helps anybody:
I installed sarge on a Dell Inspiron 2600 with the intel 830 chipset.
kernel 2.4.20. Xfree 4.2.1 from sarge did not work with the i810 driver
which is supposed to do it.
It worked with a new knoppix which uses X 4.3.
So I upgraded to 4.3 with a deb-line from apt-get.org
deb http://people.debian.org/~mmagallo/packages/xfree86/$(ARCH)/ ./
, which is experimeltal but works fine!!
remark: i had to download the whole archive, fix the Packages.gz which had
a directory i386/ too much before each package name and add it as a file:/
resource in the sources.list .
it even has a nice semi-transparent cursor with a shadow :-)
greetings
thomas
