intel 82810e dc-133 vga controller driver update
 
After installing debian 9.4 32 bit, I only have 680x460 graphics desktop. I used xrander and found that was the only resolution available. Using cvt and xrandr --addmode would not work to give me 800x600. The board is a dell optiplex gx 110. After searching, I am unable to find a debian package for the intel graphics. The motherboard also has an expansion board to allow expansion cards. I have a few old graphics cards as a last resort if unable to upgrade the existing driver. Maybe an Nvidia tnt card?

I have 2-3 810e PCs in storage, at least one of which is a Dell GX110. Last I remember, they required their own i810 driver, and were not supported by the i915 kernel driver. These were Intel's first IGPs. Those that followed the subsequent i815 differed considerably. I'm guessing support for the 810 and 815 may not have been added to the i915 driver, which did get support for older IGPs like the 845 and 865. What you're seeing is probably the VESA or FBDEV X driver, both of which provide a very limited and slow graphics experience.

When I get a chance to goto storage I'll try to recover my GX110 and see if I can get it going again, if it still might help you to solve your problem. Last I upgraded it was 6 years ago.

15 years ago these 810s & 815s were poor performers. A graphics expansion card is your best way forward if this old PC must be used for Linux.

Thanks for the info. I was unable to find out the specs on the expansion board. Are the card slots pci?

mrmazda 04-25-2021 10:05 PM
I believe both expansion slots are PCI on mine, which is a compact desktop model. The towers might also have an AGP slot.

sirius57 04-27-2021 06:05 PM
I figured out that the 4 expansion card slots are all pci 32bit 3.3v based on the diagram and info from wikipedia. With the motherboard sitting flat, the 4 pci card slots are on an expansion board that sits vertical when plugged in its slot. The pci slot notch key is to the right side of the pci slot. A universal pci card will fit, component side up, with the plug connection and mounting bracket on the right side of the pci card. I salvaged the motherboard several years ago and it sat on my work bench collecting dust. I blew the dust off and connected it to a power supply and cpu fan and to my pleasant surprise, booted into the bios. I then found a hard drive and memory and it works fine. I found several linux distros would hang or produce a kernel panic. Knoppix, dsl linux and debian 9.4 work well. However, debian 9.5 would hang.

Using synaptic, there are several video drivers installed in Debian 9.4 such as vesa, intel and ati.

I have a question with the following:

xserver-xorg-video-vesa
xserver-xorg-video-intel

How do I know which driver is in use? Can I remove the vesa driver?

Would I need to edit the xorg config file?

mrmazda 05-05-2021 02:20 AM
If there is an xorg.conf file, you should post it's content here using code tags. You should also try removing/renaming it, then rebooting or restarting X.

Removing the VESA driver might backfire. It's a fallback driver, often helpful for troubleshooting.

The driver in use will be named on many, mostly sequential, lines in the file /var/log/Xorg.0.log or ~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log, probably at least 40 lines, either VESA(0) or vesa(0) or intel(0) or INTEL(0). Sometimes the number in the name will be 1 or 99 instead of 0. What's important is sharing the newest. The pastebinit command can make sharing easy. If it's not already installed
Code:
sudo apt install pastebinit
then e.g.
Code:
pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log
and paste the resulting URL here.

I was able to retrieve my gx110 from mothballs Tuesday. It has 3 PCI slots turned sideways. I still need to find time to see if it works.

sirius57 05-06-2021 07:33 PM
Here is a copy/past of the log file. It appears to be using the vesa driver. Can I edit xorg to use the intel file instead? I had to edit out a portion due to size limitations for posting.

In theory, yes. But, an Intel driver should be used automatically, if there is one that supports the 810. I got my GX 110 out of mothballs, and it boots, but I hadn't used it since 2015, so it will need a fresh installation, not an upgrade of what's already installed, when I can find enough time. It's very slow, with a 1000GHz CPU, and at most ATA 66 HDs, if that.

Logs the size of every Xorg.0.log should be uploaded to a Pastebin, such as with pastebinit, not pasted into a post directly.

This prevents loading any competent X driver, causing fallback to the crude VESA driver. It's cause needs to be found and corrected before any Intel driver will load.

I have both Stretch and Buster installed on my GX110. Neither are able to find a valid framebuffer device so far. This is from Buster on the GX110:
Code:

Compare to a much more recent Intel installation:

video                  53248  1 i915
There seems to be a lot missing. For one thing, the video, i810 and drm_kms_helper modules must be loaded manually on the GX110.

More to come when I have more time....

I tried reinstalling the intel driver with:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-video-intel xserver-xorg-core

sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

It still has the vesa resolution with one choice when using xrandr.

mrmazda 05-08-2021 01:38 PM
As noted in comment #9
Code:
(EE) open /dev/dri/card0: No such file or directory
in your Xorg.0.log shows the Intel DDX driver is blocked, as the DDX depends on the existence of /dev/dri/card0. Thus, reinstalling the server or the driver is pointless. The cause of no /dev/dri/card0 must be found and corrected before the Intel DDX will load and other modes will be possible. I've asked for help from the Intel GFX driver developers: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archiv...ay/265740.html

What corrections are necessary I don't know yet, but it looks like I'm closing in on it. Obviously in Tumbleweed the i810 driver has been superceded by the i915, so possibly to make Debian work only requires an upgrade to Bullseye....

Note that a vanilla 5.12 kernel cannot be used without a special configuration option, which has been applied to this particular one. The why and kernel rpm source can be found in http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1185174 . This was not required in kernel 5.11.

....Added Bullseye to GX110. Kernel is 5.10. i810 module is gone. i915 does not autoload either, but even manual loading it doesn't result in /dev/dri/ or /dev/fb0, so X is still stuck in 640x480. :(

Personally I don't like AntiX for a very particular LSB reason, but it has a good reputation for supporting old hardware. So, just in case the magic remains elusive in Debian, you might want to give AntiX a try, assuming you're not interested in Tumbleweed.

sirius57 05-09-2021 04:18 PM
I tried the antiX live dvd. It complained 'undefined video number: 317, which I have seen before with DSL linux. It would only boot to a cli and fail at startx. I tried it on my laptop and all was fine. I am considering the ati rage xl pci 32 bit pci card. It seems equivalent to the intel video chip. I still want to work out the intel driver issue.

mrmazda 05-09-2021 04:32 PM
I'm surprised AntiX didn't run X. :( Possibly if you asked on the AntiX forum someone might report whether it can.

vga=0x317, any mainstream vga= value, is not supported by the BIOS used with any i810 or i815 I've encountered. Sometimes I've used vga=0x8121, but it's ugly on a flat panel display. There should be Radeon 7500 AGPs around that perform much better than any Rage. Dell shipped a lot of them. I probably have 5 around here. Even Radeon 7000 is better than Rage IIRC. Whether any shipped as PCI rather than AGP I have no idea.
