[XFree86] Severe Intel (82)855 GM problem

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Good day lads.

I just bought myself a new laptop for my birthday on the 21'st sep and I'm dissapointed to say that I am
failing miserably in getting XFree86 working with the Intel 82855 GM 64Mb videboard.

I downloaded the source version of the drivers from http://downloadfinder.intel.com (originally from dri.sourceforge.net)
and followed the simple installation procedures without any problems.

I then continued with making the necesary changes in XFree86Config as specified in ftp://aiedownload.intel.com/df-support/6185/ENG/readme.txt
(the usual stuff, driver editing, etc).

Now the weird part.

when running XFree86 (via xinit but everything else is the same), XF86 exits with signal 11 without any warnings.
I've been trying to fix this for hours to no avail, therefore I seek your expert help.

The logfile can be located here, http://www.pulia.nu/tmp/XFree86.0.log
An strace of the execution here, http://www.pulia.nu/tmp/xf_hang
And my XF86Config file here,     http://www.pulia.nu/tmp/XF86Config

The laptop in question is an Acer TravelMate 290 (I seem to be the first person working on a page for linux-on-laptops on it)

And in short, this is what is inside it:

Processor: Mobile Intel Centrino 1.3GHz
Chipset: ?
Memory: 256Mb (expandable to xxxMb)
Audio: Intel® 82801DB AC'97 (Rev 03)
Video: Intel® 82852/82855 GM/GME 64Mb with TV-Out
Display: 15" TFT, 1024x768
Network: RealTek RTL8139/810x familty and Intel® PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B PCI Mini adapter

I'm using the Slackware distribution, version 9.0 with kernel 2.4.22, and XFree86 version 4.3.0.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Regards,
	Kristian
