Re: HOWTO : XWindow Setup on Intel i810 Main Board

Hello,
I just installed FreeBSD 4.5.2 (it is now Aug 2002) on a DELL GX110 PC which uses the Intel 810e graphics chipset. This version of FreeBSD comes with XFree86 4.2.0.
With the default install kernel & XF86Config, using startx will give several errors like "i810_drv.o unresolved" ...
I was able to combine a couple hints from this page and elsewhere on the web to get this working.
Solution:
1. Do the following, which is in the freebsd docs:
If you are using XFree86 4.1.0 (or later) and messages about unresolved symbols like fbPictureInit appear, try adding the following line after Driver "i810" in the XFree86 configuration file:
Option "NoDDC"
2. Do the following, which was on this page:
Once X has been setup succesfully, open the /boot/loader.conf and add the following line at the end of the file :
agp_load="YES"
So, support seems to be fixed for FreeBSD 4.5.2, however there are some manual fixes still required.
By the way, I am using XFce desktop environment. If that makes any difference. |
