Intel 810 onboard GFX messing X
So I logged into Slackware 9.1 with root after installation that went very smooth. =) I hate GUI installation but I need GUI desktop. So I started "startx" then suddenly these blue red green lines appeared on the screen. Then I tried x86config. Still a problem.
Here are the specs of my comp Model number P3027A Base processor and speed 700 MHz Intel (R) Celeron (TM) Processor Chipset Intel 810 Memory Component Attributes RAM (standard) 64 MB SDRAM standard Maximum 512 MB (2 x 256 MB DIMM) Speed 100 MHz synchronous Sockets Two 168-pin DIMMs Size 32, 64, 128, and 256 MB DIMMs Free DIMM Sockets 1 Pairs Required No Type Supported SDRAM, 100 MHz, Intel PC SDRAM unbuffered DIMM specification, revision 1.0 compliant Cache Level Quantity Level 2 128 KB Advanced Transfer Cache Hard drive 20 GB CD-ROM drive Attribute Properties Speed 48x (maximum) Transfer Rate 7.2 MB per second Access speed 75 ms Diskette drive 1.44 MB (3.5-inch form factor) Fax/data modem Attribute Properties Data speed 56 Kbps Fax speed Up to 14.4 Kbps Data compression v 42 bis Error correction v 42 EIA fax commands Class 1 Video Attribute Properties Video graphics Direct AGP (Direct Video Memory Technology) Controller Intel Integrated VGA Video memory 11 MB UMA, not upgradeable Feature connector (game/joystick) Yes Network card 10/100Base-T MPEG-1/2 MPEG-1 for full-screen, full-motion digital video.

Please help me. I dont know whether I need some drivers or anything, in other words n00b Thanks. |
What is your output of lspci?
Should look something like this if you have the i810: 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corp. 82810 GMCH [Graphics Memory Controller Hub] (rev 03) And when you run xf86config a root since Slackware doesn't configure X during installation, when viewing the card database, did you select number 15 I believe it is in the list for the i810? Also always make sure your putting in the correct hsync and vsync rates for your monitor. Regards. |
Thanks for replying, trickykid. I did some search and found some stuff. I re-did the xf86config and now :) Im in the X after 10 minutes . Cool but I am currently using XFCE, so how do I change it to KDE?
