I have a ViewSonic monitor that supports 1440x900; that's what I need to use. My video card is an Intel 82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV. I've been reccomended the modesetting driver after 915resolution failed... With much work, I finally got the driver to compile with autogen.sh, make, and make install. However, upon restarting my PC and trying to run X with the newly compiled driver, I get: "Failed to allocate framebuffer. Is your VideoRAM set too low? Fatal servererror: AddScreen/ScreenInit failed for driver 0" I left VideoRam, in my xorg.conf, blank originally, but then tried 256--neither worked. My xorg.conf is attached. (Note that I may have left the driver as "vesa" in the .conf; I switched to vesa so I could write this message... but nevertheless I HAVE been trying to use the driver "i810"). What's going on, has anyone else experienced these problems, how can I fix it, etc. Thanks! -- Tim <PRE> _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list <A HREF="mailto:xorg@lists.freedesktop.org">xorg@lists.freedesktop.org</A> <A HREF="http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg">http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg</A> </PRE> </BLOCKQUOTE> </BODY> </HTML>
