Hello,

Hardware acceleration is not working on my new Intel G845GVSR motherboard with Slackware 10.1. Everything else is woring fine. I configured X using xorgsetup. These are my observations:

agpgart is loading properly.

This is my xorg.conf:

I am not able to find a solution to this problem. Can anybody help?

Thanks for your help.

I also have an Intel i810 card in this laptop. It took a long time before I finally got my acceleration working. Not because its neccesarily compilcated, so much as i was fumbling blindly.

You're running the stock slackware kernel, right? ou need to compile your own, and make sure you compile the direct rendering module for your card. I reccomend looking through the options very, very carefully and making sure anything that looks related is there. I personally compile virtually everything I'm not using as a module, just in case. Its just using a small amount of hard drive space, which is not often an issue.

Your xorg.conf does look just fine, my config is virtually identical. Just go grab the latest kernel source from kernel.org and compile with the direct rengering stuff and you should be good.

Yes I have the same board D845GVSR and same problem (and Slackware 10.2)
In oficial site of Intel have drivers only for RedHat, Novell and RedFlat...
Now I think to try to turn off integrated video and to install some other

Look at my site here. It has the xorg.conf and kernel config that makes DRI/DRM work. Check them out /change what You need. And read this post. It should give you a good handle.

I found problem
It is in BIOS settings:
Go to Video configuration and make cash 8 MB. In M$ Win it is not problem to be 1 or 4 MB.
