I have debian 3.0r2 woody. I have an on board graphics controller Intel
845G/L (Brookdale). X server is not starting on my computer. It gives
the error "No devices detected". I have tried everything from Modifying
the XF86Config-4 file to recompiling the kernel(with appropriate
drivers) to re-installing the system with different boot options (bf24,
vanilla etc.,) and none of them has worked. I've tried kernels 2.4.28-13
and 2.4.20. Previously I was using Red Hat 8.0 and everything was fine,
I was using kernels 2.4.18-14 and 2.4.20. It even worked on a Linux
distribution based on Fedora core 2.
BTW, I am also not able to play MP3s using mpg123/mpg321. It says unable
to open any libao drivers for device .(libao is installed). I have an on
board sound card that came with the 845G chipset -- ICH(?).
Can someone (probably with the same hardware) give me step by step
instructions on getting X and audio working.
Thanks for any help.
As I said before I've tried everything.
I've tried both i810 and fb. When using fb it says something about
EGA/VGA planes not supported.
Tony, its not a driver problem, as I've been using the same drivers and
configuration successfully on my previous RedHat system.
Micha Feigin, it says no devices detected and I tried everything as
root. The mouse is being properly detected.
Can you please give me every detail of how you got it working on your
system?
Thanks for any help.
