Intel HD2000 Linux Driver in RHEL 5.6

neoserdes · 05-03-2012, 12:38 AM

I get this error message:

checking for XORG... no
configure: error: Package requirements (xorg-server >= 1.6 xproto fontsproto pixman-1 >= 0.16 ) were not met:

No package 'xorg-server' found
No package 'pixman-1' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables XORG_CFLAGS
and XORG_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

I don't know how to move ahead? Please suggest, thanks.

Hi,

It looks like you need to install (at least) 2 packages, as mentioned:

Quote:

configure: error: Package requirements (xorg-server >= 1.6 xproto fontsproto pixman-1 >= 0.16 ) were not met:

No package 'xorg-server' found
No package 'pixman-1' found

Install these 2 and try again (use yum if at all possible, so dependencies are also picked up and installed).

You mention an Intel HD2000 Linux Driver in your thread title, but I don't see anything about that in your post. What is the relationship?

BTW: If you cannot get this to work I would advise contacting RedHat support, you are paying them good money

Hope this helps.

and install the -devel rpm for them also
xorg-server IS already installed but the devel package would not be

would help

what program source are you building ? and from where did you get it ?
a link would help

configure is looking in the /usr/lib64/packconf folder for a *.pc file
so it can make a "makefile"

Thanks for your reply. I got the source code from: http://intellinuxgraphics.org/2012.02.html
I'm trying to install 2D driver. It is intel linux driver source code.

that should be installed as part of the default system
that built in chip should be using the intel driver that is part of the kernel
have a red through the /var/log/xorg.0.log

The CPUs containing Intel's HD2000 video unit were released in January 2011, at the same time RHEL 5.6 was released, so it may be possible that the drivers do not come with the OS, I would think.

Getting the new intel drivers to work on the 5.x series of RHEL/CentOS/SL will be very difficult to do. Even if you install one of the newer kernels that has the driver, you still need to upgrade xorg. I tried and I tried getting my netbook to work, but I could only get VESA to load. :-/

Sounds like beyond my knowledge. I give up.

Fortunately, I have a stand-alone video card that has linux driver. Will disable HD2000 and use that one. Save all the hassle.

You could use RHEL6 and it's variant. It will work there. RHEL5 is relatively old in open source terms.
