Hey everyone,<br>I've recently been trying to use the modesetting branch of the i810 driver, from git. 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...
<br><br>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:<br><br>"Failed to allocate framebuffer. Is your VideoRAM set too low?
<br>Fatal servererror: AddScreen/ScreenInit failed for driver 0"<br><br>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").
<br><br>What's going on, has anyone else experienced these problems, how can I fix it, etc.<br><br>Thanks!<br>-- <br>Tim
