For direct rendering to work you need support in the kernel and in X, those are different things. Try looking in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri for the X driver. According to this[1] mailing list post you need both Xorg from CVS and Linux 2.6.12-rc for i915 to be supported. Is that what the apt sources above provide? Otherwise, if you are on x86, there is a person who builds packages with DRI-snapshots compatible with Debian[2]. Not sure how up to date they are. If that doesn't help, you will have to compile Xorg yourself. 1. http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2005-June/008190.html 2. http://www.nixnuts.net/files/ > AUDIO > > I've modprobed just about every sound module I could find, but the only > one that output any text was i810_audio.

Hmmm, that sound chip seems to be supported pretty good and should not be a problem. Have you installed the alsa related stuff? Did not discover find anything? (I can't remember what of these packages get installed by default during installation). Take a look below on Alsa Projects notes for this chip. They have some Debian specific instructions. http://thefinleys.com/dell_d810/#Audio http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php?company=Intel&card=.&chip=440MX%2C+i810%2C+i810%2C+i810E%2C+i820%2C+i820&module=intel8x0 Good luck! -- Cheers, Sven Arvidsson http://www.whiz.se PGP Key ID 760BDD22
