Intel 865G integrated graphics and XFree 4.3 | ( post #1) | Searching for anything here, I have been struggling with this problem all week. I installed Red-Hat 9.0 on my machine and fired it up. Tried to run X and couldn't get anything higher than 640x480 at 8bit. Here are a bit of details: Intel 865G Intel Extreme Graphics onboard video 32mb video ram Red-Hat 9.0 kernel 2.4.20-8 updated with 2.4.22 I read somewhere that the red-hat vanilla kernel didn't work with this onboard video, so I d/l'd 2.4.22 and compiled/installed. Came up again only in 640x480 at 8bit. If I edit XF86Config making the video resolution higher and color depth higher it will not run. I read this "www chzsoft com ar/855patch.html" which described almost exactly what I am seeing in the /var/log/XFree86.0.log(Driver load section): ------------------------------------------ ... ...
