FYI, I finally just fixed the problem by setting "Internal Graphics Mode Select" in my i845's BIOS from 1 MB to 8 MB. This had been changed when my CMOS was somehow reset. The only thing I don't understand is *why* this could have fixed anything, when I'm specifying in XF86Config that 64 MB of onboard memory is to be used as video RAM, and there's no video RAM at all other than onboard memory because of the way the i810 architecture works. Does the X server (DRI or otherwise) need a certain amount of graphics memory available in order to initialize its modes before it loads the i810 driver? Because if it were limited to 1 MB at that stage, then that would at least explain why I was stuck in 640x480. Oh yeah, and if it then tries to start in 32-bit color depth by default instead of 16 (which I think may have been the one thing I changed when I was trying to fix the 640x480 problem), then it won't even be able to use 640x480 anymore since 640 * 480 * 4 bytes > 1 MB. Hence, no available modes. Hence, a black screen. What do you guys think? Did I answer my own question? :) _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list XFree86@xxxxxxxxxxx http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
