The onboard video controller is Intel Extreme Graphics 2, 82865G Graphics and Memory Controller Hub, 865G chipset. Is this supported under the Xfree that comes with Woody? Or am I going to be having to do lots of building from source? I have found ahave a look at: http://support.intel.com/support/graphics/linux/graphics.htmIt says you'll need X 4.3, but it also said this to my i845G VGA, and yet it works fine on my SID:
Just in case you end up needing X 4.3, here is the source that I use: deb http://penguinppc.org/~daniels/sid/i386/ ./That is probably your best bet. Otherwise, I would recommend downloading the sources from:
http://necrotic.deadbeast.net/xfree86/I would get, xfree86_4.3.0.orig.tar.gz, and the latest sid branch (updated daily). Unpack them and, assuming you have the debian package building tools installed, go the parent directory of the source tree and issue a dpkg-buildpackage. Go to sleep or watch a movie, and in a few hours you have yourself a set of Debian packages for XFree86 4.3.
The good thing about this approach is that you don;t have to worry about confilcts once the official packages make it into Sid. If you have installed a tarball from xfree86.org, it is possible things will get srewed up when you try to upgrade later.
