|
|
>This document has a very specific purpose; to help people who are failing to
|
|
get X working on Intel's i810 graphics chipset (hereafter "the i810"). It is
|
|
written by a beginner (me), and it is imagined that it will be of use
|
|
primarily to other beginners. The author would be flattered to hear that he
|
|
has helped anyone more skilled than he. Furthermore, I know that the i810
|
|
works with XFree86 3.3.6, but I personally have not trod that path. My
|
|
experience comes purely from XFree86 4.0 (hereafter "X4.x") and the
|
|
i810/agpgart support available in the 2.2.18 and 2.4.x kernels, and
|
|
consequently this HOWTO tackles that solution, or procedure, alone. The
|
|
instructions that follow were written to the 2.4.x compile tune, but the
|
|
procedure is similar enough to be translatable to the 2.2.18. Use your head, as
|
|
Tony Buzan would say, and read the READMEs to be sure of any required alterations
|
|
of method.</P
|
|
><P
|
|
>Even though I know this procedure works I feel obliged to point out that what
|
|
I have recorded here is mostly that which I have worked out in my own bumbling
|
|
way. It may well be that others know a quicker and more efficient method than
|
|
that which follows. If so I will be happy to hear from them. As I mentioned
|
|
previously, the i810 will work with XFree86 3.3.6, if one also uses some
|
|
drivers designed by Intel for the task (namely XFCom_i810-1.2-3 and
|
|
I810Gtt-0.2-4) but, in the interests of Linux purity, and of course knowing
|
|
one does not have to use Intel's software, I recommend the method detailed
|
|
here. It does not need Intel drivers.</P
|
|
><P
|
|
>Finally, no introduction would be complete without the following words of
|
|
caution; this HOWTO should be regarded as a 'bare bones' set of
|
|
instructions and should therefore be followed with all relevant README
|
|
literature to hand. What follows is not exhaustive by any stretch of the
|
|
imagination, and needs, at least for beginners, said README stuff.</P
