Hiya, We currently are attempting to use pc's which use the Intel 845 integrated chipset which uses the 845GL video chipset. Intel's advice to get this to work under RedHat Linux is to use the VESA driver but it appear that this does not work for myself. I don't know if this is due to something I am doing or whether there is an issue with Xfree 4.2.0 and the Intel 845 graphics. I am using the 2.5.25 (previously tried to use 2.4.18) and I have compiled support for 845/850 chipset in the kernel. The issue seems to be that you attempt to go to init 5 and the screen just remains completely blank even after a bit of disk chundering. I can switch back to a text console fine and there doesn't appear to be anything untoward being logged on the console. Closer examination of the Xfree86.0.log file seems to reveal a whole set of write combination errors relating to the VESA module which is trying to be used Xfree86. I would appreciate some pointers on being able to resolve this. I apologise if the information is a bit vague but I would be more than happy to elaborate if it helps diagnose and fix the problem.
