Problems with XWindows


Hi. I'm newbie to Debian Sarge and cannot configure Xwindows to run with my
Intel D845GLVA + i810 videocard + Compaq 1024 monitor. Xf86config doesn't contain my videocard data. Is it possible configurate Xwindows on Debian in other way. Does anybody else have same problem ?

I had a similar problem.. try picking versa as the type.. it sould be one of the top ones.. apparently that's pretty generic .. I only got 640*480 thongh.. but it worked.. on a different machine i got 800*600 with a different card that again wasn't on the list.. good luck and let us know if you found a solution..

/etc/X11# vi XF86Config-4
Section "Device" //it should be like that if the driver name
//is different change it same in the screen
//device
Identifier "Intel 810"
Driver "i810"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "API:1597"
HorizSync 28-38
VertRefresh 43-72
Option "DPMS"
EndSection
Section "Screen"

Monitor "API:1597"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
