i810 module won't load...


Hi,

I installed Arch Linux 0.7.1 with stock 2.6.15 kernel on this pc:
- Asus P4P800 VM (video= i865G / audio= AC97 / nic= ...)
- PM 1.5
- 512MB RAM

Should work ok, no? Well, almost, because I'm stuck in VESA mode due to the i810-module that won't load. My x-log:

I did not load glx or dri, just to make sure that those settings don't break anything.

My xorg.conf (generated - I only changed the mouse-mountpoint and the sync-values):
Code:

I also tried loading the i810-module in my rc.conf, but no dice... I don't know what to do next...

Anyone pretty please?

1)
check in bios how much video memory is allocated; it might be set to 1MB
2)
change video ram (in X configuration) from 32768 to 4096

The above might be the reason why it will not start

3)
visit the intel website; there are drivers for the i865; don't know if they will work on your distro
