Re: Video driver for ThinkPad T61 laptop?

[John R Pierce <pierce@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

according to the http://www.pcidatabase.com   vendor 8086 (Intel) device
2A02 is a Intel 965GM

that should work fine with xorg-x11-drv-i810
    

Thanks, John.   What should I do if it doesn't?

Package xorg-x11-drv-i810-1.6.5-9.25.el5.i386 already installed and
latest version

Any suggestions?   I asked for help on the Xorg list yesterday but no
reply as yet.

  

I rarely run X so take my advise with a grain of salt.

I noticed that xorg-x11-drv-i810 package had several different drivers in it, i810 and intel, the intel one is the right one for the 965GM chipset.
