> Hi Fred, noticed the i810 chipset. did a google search. Its a noted error. Here is the previous suggestion from someone at DEBIAN. read both. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Looks like: 1) You didn't provide all of the information described in the XF86Config(7) manual page; 2) You didn't specify how much system RAM the i810 video chipset should borrow. This is mandatory for i810 chipsets. Please try the following commands: $ man 7 XF86Config $ dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 Closing this spurious report. --=20 G.

Yeah. http://people.debian.org/~branden/ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On i810 (and i810-style) chipsets you absolutely positively have to have the agpgart device available, and have kernel support for it, or X will not work. That is because i810 chips have very little dedicated video memory. Debian kernels should have agpgart support, so all should have to do is: # makedev agpgart It is not optimal that the installer didn't do this for you. --=20 G.
