Installing i810 driver
Guys how can i get the driver i810 for linux and how do i go about installing it from the console? Currently i can't go into GUI 'cos that driver is missing. how do I send the file to the location. Should i use a cd or a flash drive?

Hi Kdships, Welcome to lq. What distro are you using? Have you tried just running your x configuration utility? You may also want to include the output from the following.
Code:
/sbin/lspci -v |
I use Fedora core 6
kernel 2.6.18-1.2798.fc6xen on an i686 I tried running xconfiguration and it says command not found startx gives me something like this: (EE) Failed to load module "i810" (module does not exist, 0) (EE) Failed to load module "synaptics" (module does not exist, 0) (EE) No drivers available. Fatal server error: no screens found X10: fatal 10 error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0" after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining. /sbin/lspci -v gave me: 02:01.3 System peripheral: Ricoh Co Ltd R5c592 Memory Stick Bus Host Adapter (rev 0a) Subsytem: Dell Unknown device 01d8 Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 11 Memory at ef9FD600 (32-bit, non-prefechable) [size=256] Capabilities: [80] Power Management version 2 02:01.4 System peripheral: Ricoh Co Ltd xD-Picture Card Controller (rev 05) Subsytem: Dell Unknown device 01d8 Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 11 Memory at af9fd700 (32-bit, non-prefechable) [size=256] Capabilities: [80] Power Management version 2 0c:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation Dell Wireless 1390 WLAN Mini-PC 1 Card (rev 01) Subsystem: Dell Unknown device 0007 Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 4 Memory at efdfc000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16k] Capabilities: [d0] Express Latency Endpoint IRQ 0 /sbin/lsmod gave me: i2c_i801 11853 0 ieee1394 301593 1 ohci1394 pcspkr 7361 0 soundcore 14113 snd hci_usb 25537 2 i2c_ec,i2c_i801 sdhci 22745 0 mmc_core 30401 1 sdhci snd_page_alloc 14409 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm serio_raw 11205 0 b44 32973 0 mii 9665 1 b44 bluetooth 58917 8 hidp,rfcomm,12cap,hci_usb ide_cd 42337 2 cdrom 38625 2 ide_cd ata_piix 18121 3 libata 103385 1 ide_piix sd_mod 24897 22 scsi_mod 138729 3 sg,libata,sd_mod ext3 135369 2 jbd 63209 1 ext3 ehci_hcd 35917 0 ohci_hcd 25437 0 uhci_hcd 27715 0 |
Edit the Devices section of the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to use the i810 driver, it may be using the vesa driver, an exaple follows:
Code:
Section "Device" |
I tried going to /etc/X11/xorg.conf but was denied access even though i logged in as root
"Permission denied" it says. |
You have to edit it with an editor, have you tried command: gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf as root (If using Gnome desktop) or: kdesu kate (In KDE).

Or see if "nano" will execute. This is a another small editor that distros sometimes build in. Also you can go "cat filename" to see what the file contains; then use sed to change the file. But vi would be easier. You will need to have i810 support compiled into your XOrg implementation; but you probably do already. |
