    Hi fellow linuxers,

    I am trying to get XFree86 4.3.0 to work on an Intel 855 GM graphics
    chipset.

    I have a fresh, "everything from stock" installation of Suse 8.2
    (Standard kernel 2.4.20-4GB) on my FSC Lifebook E4010.

    lsmod shows agpgart and i810 modules are loaded, but XFree86 4.3.0 bombs
    out with no useful information whatsoever:

    "Fatal server error:
     Caught Signal 11. Server aborting"

    Suse's hardware database lists intel's 855 GM as fully supported for
    8.2, but it just doesn't seem to work for me.

    What I have noticed is that my XF86Config only shows Modelines for
    "1400x1050", which is the native display size of this laptop, but quite
    an unusal screen resolution. However, I would then at least expect some
    other message like "no valid modes" or something to that extent instead
    of X just dying ungracefully.

    Could anybody perhaps point me in the right direction ?

    Much appreciated !

    thx,

    Martin
