Intel i810; what's wrong here?

[jayjwa <jayjwa@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello xlist;

For the life of me, I can't see what is wrong with this setup. I've 
recently got a new system. XF86 is fine on my S3 Virge, but every time I 
try on the new system which is using the i810 driver, all I get are black 
screens. No error messages, no crashes; it seems like everything is fine. 
yet there's no picture at all. I turned -logverbose to 10 and ran a 
session. The config & the log are both here (unless some mail filter 
strips them). Since the system is new, I'm taking the values for the 
chipset and moniter straight out of the monitor's manual, and even 
-configure seems to agree with my choices for drivers. To experiment, I've 
tried the vga, fbdev and vesa drivers with no luck either and same result.
In the docs of the XF86 archive, there's a blurb on using the agpgart.o 
module (this is a Pentium 4 Linux system, gcc/glibc based, everything 
recent and up to date), but this didn't seem to add anything to help.

I recompiled the modules (2.4.28 kern.), and checked all the simple things 
like using the wrong config, starting with a bad xinitrc, etc. The only 
time I've had results different than the above where when trying the vga 
driver, and using a really poor res. with depth 8. The charaters where so 
large that 50% of 1 xterm took up the full screen (around mode 620x480 or 
less). Other than that, just a black screen for everything I've tried, 
from commenting out sections/options to trying different rates, drivers 
and modes, to moving the depth + or -.

I'd hate to think this nice shiney new linux box can't run XF86!

If anyone has an idea, I'm at jayjwa -at- atr2.ath.cx (address in case 
this mails from the list under the list's From: address instead of mine). 
The list is kind of slow if you get it in digest form. Thanks.
