I have a conectiva linux installed (kernel 2.4.x), but i cant get the drivers to work right.. the computer is a DELL with intel board with 82865G video onboard..

i got the drivers from the intel site, they should have worked, but it doenst.. they have tested only with Red Hat..


where can i get a fix, drivers or something to get this working?

We need to know the exact kernel and the error message your getting, without this info we'd just be guessing.

my kernel version is 2.4.21

i get the following error :

i got the new Xfree and now at least the driver is working but i cant get more than 8bits of color depth..

when i set to 24 or 16 i get : No Screens Found

Have a look at your XF86Config-4, there probably are not any entries for 16 and 24bit.

i have entries for 24 and 16 bits but it doenst work =/


anyone have other ideias please??? =((

drako12:
search all forums for 536ep and look for my name heading a recent thread. I've got as far as getting the modem to dialup and even surf for a while.

I wonder if there are utilities which specifically support HaM modems? Kernel support for HaM modems? Who would one ask?
