I feel your pain.
I am a 100% fresh n00b and am frustrated that I cannot load FC8. I have 2.6.23.1-42.fc8 and have a VGA of 82945g. When I startx I get a 'out of sync' message. I can ctrl-alt-f1 and get back to CLI but dont know what I need to do to fix it. I would like to download the correct driver from a repository but dont know how. I have spent ages looking on google but just read linux chatter that I dont understand. Can anyone help? Thanks Dave |
I am not sure how to resolve the problem with the cards you have but try using the vesa or fbdev drivers whilst looking for a solution. To use the vesa or fbdev driver, you would edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and in the Device section of the graphics card, make sure the driver is listed as "vesa" or "fbdev".

According to this page http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/CS-010512.htm Intel driver included with Xorg should work with your card. Did you try? |

I did see that webpage, but I just dont know what to do. I am 100% noob and dont understand the lingo yet.
I have tried the "vesa" route, but everything I have seen or tried has failed. I really need to copy/paste a working xorg.conf and try that. it is mostly gibberish to me at the moment. I am n00b I have a 1280x1024 75hz tft Xerox monitor if that helps. Thanks for any help. |
try this
change the default depth to 16 bit and frequency to 60 hz and resolution to 1024X768 |

Hmh ... As always, you have two options here. DIY or seek professional help. Probably there is a Linux guru in your area.
For DIY you seem kinda slow, no progress whatsoever in a week. How about switching to a console with Alt+Ctrl+F2, logging in as root and having a look at that xorg.conf? Discover your system, learn basic commands. For instance, find / -name xorg.conf will search the entire installation for xorg.conf. Once found, you can use a viewer, as less, to view it: less /etc/X11/xorg.conf, type man less to learn how to use less. To edit it use some editor, probably there is nano, nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf. To make sure you do not bork anything back it up first: cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.original. You do not have to type in all of this, to use bash completion simply type cp /e and press TAB, you'll see. You need some creativity and curiosity. If all this seems terrible and appalling then better start looking for that local geek now. |
driver for 82945G
Hello,
I have the same problem with an ASUS P5LD2-VM motherboard. By searching the Intel website I came upon this link: http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/intel945g/ Selecting Software and drivers took me here: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/filt...s=39&submit=Go! which then led me to a link to here: http://intellinuxgraphics.org/ This group posts this entry: * News 2009-1-15:xf86-video-intel 2.6.0 released, with DRI2, XvMC for Mpeg2 on i965, HDMI audio support, better TV image quality, basic SDVO LVDS support, together with Intel 2008Q4 graphics package released. * They claim it supports the 82945G chipset as well as several others. I have downloaded the xf86-video-intel-2.6.0.tar.bz2 file for this but haven't had a chance to try it. I also am a newbie to the linux world. I am running Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron on my Dell laptop and love it. I would like to put Ubuntu 8.10 Itrepid on the ASUS motherboard with an XP pro dual boot. But when I run the live cd I can also get a CLI using the "Ctrl+Alt+F1" key combination but my vga monitor just shows a blue screen. Kinda a linux version of the Windows blue screen of death.. LOL I tried all the boot options but without any luck. If anybody can give some pointers on how to use the downloaded xf86-video-intel-2.6.0.tar.bz2 file that would be great. Hope this helps. |
