Hi all,
A bit of a newbie, so be easy on me
Been trying to get my intel845 working properly (i.e. opengl etc.) on Mandrake 10.0 / KDE for some time now. As far as I can see, the reason it won't is because the video memory in the BIOS is set to 1mb, and the BIOS won't let me change it (nor update, damn Phoenix people).
The site
http://www.xfree86.org/current/i810.4.html seems to suggest that I can get around this by using an "agp kernel driver".
How do I go about setting this up? I'm totally at a loss as where to even start.
It says that:
"This amount may be changed with the VideoRam entry in the config file Device section"
Whereabouts do I find this config file? Should AGP already be installed on the Mandrake 10.0 Kernel?
Is all of this correct? Is that solution the right one?
If I'm barking up the wrong tree, or something, then you might want to know the following:
I'm running Phoenix BIOS 6.00
On an Emachines machine
Dual boot winXP Mandrake10/KDE
Using an Intel845 graphics card
Thanks,
Alex
