Re: gdm and intel G965

Thanks very everyone for the help.
But, as I said, I am a bit tired of installation. got many problems
with sata controler and later with the network driver.
I'll use vesa driver until kernel 2.6.19 comes to etch.
For now, I'll focus now on making the sound works. arrr...

You'll need the intel-agp driver from 2.6.19 at least. Once it is updated,
it'll recognize your device. I managed to work around the problem by d/l the
source package for the etch kernel, dropping the intel-agp.c file from a
newer vanilla kernel into it, and building the kernel the "debian way" (or
just d/l the latest vanilla kernel and go at it.)

The VESA driver will work (poorly, but much better than nothing.) For the i810
driver to work, you might need to use the sources from freedesktop.org:
http://intellinuxgraphics.org./download.html


Hopefully you will avoid the problem I'm currently experiencing with the 2d
driver sources: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10430
In this case, it's probably just a pebkac error.

Regards,

Anson
