hi ho, Problems with the intel965gm integrated graphics chipset on a dell d830 laptop. I am unable to get resolutions above 1280x800, unable to enable compiz, compiz-fusion or beryl (on enabling any of these the desktop freezes or turns all white and I have to kill the xserver or reboot). I have read about the new intel drivers that are available but I am unable to install them due to an error indicating that XINERAMA is not available. I would really appreciate some assistance with this issue, potentially some detailed direction on getting the newer intel drivers installed and working. lspci -nn 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Mobile Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:2a02] (rev 0c) 00:02.1 Display controller [0380]: Intel Corporation Mobile Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:2a03] (rev 0c) lspci -vv 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c) (prog-if 00 [VGA]) Subsystem: Dell Unknown device 01fe Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- Latency: 0 Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 16 Region 0: Memory at fea00000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=1M] Region 2: Memory at e0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M] Region 4: I/O ports at efe8 [size=8] Capabilities: [90] Message Signalled Interrupts: Mask- 64bit- Queue=0/0 Enable- Address: 00000000 Data: 0000 Capabilities: [d0] Power Management version 3 Flags: PMEClk- DSI+ D1- D2- AuxCurrent=0mA PME(D0-,D1-,D2-,D3hot-,D3cold-) Status: D0 PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=0 PME- Bridge: PM- B3+ 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c) Subsystem: Dell Unknown device 01fe Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- Latency: 0 Region 0: Memory at feb00000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=1M] Capabilities: [d0] Power Management version 3 Flags: PMEClk- DSI+ D1- D2- AuxCurrent=0mA PME(D0-,D1-,D2-,D3hot-,D3cold-) Status: D0 PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=0 PME- Bridge: PM- B3+ (note the dell unknown device entries...hmmm) xorg.conf file: # Xorg configuration created by system-config-display Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "single head configuration" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" InputDevice "Synaptics" "CorePointer" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "us" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Synaptics" Driver "synaptics" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Protocol" "auto-dev" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes" Option "LeftEdge" "120" Option "RightEdge" "830" Option "TopEdge" "120" Option "BottomEdge" "650" Option "FingerLow" "14" Option "FingerHigh" "15" Option "MaxTapMove" "110" Option "VertScrollDelta" "20" Option "HorizScrollDelta" "20" Option "MinSpeed" "0.3" Option "MaxSpeed" "0.75" Option "BottomEdge" "650" Option "FingerLow" "14" Option "FingerHigh" "15" Option "MaxTapMove" "110" Option "VertScrollDelta" "20" Option "HorizScrollDelta" "20" Option "MinSpeed" "0.3" Option "MaxSpeed" "0.75" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" ModelName "LCD Panel 1680x1050" HorizSync 31.5 - 90.0 VertRefresh 59.9 - 60.1 Option "dpms" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Videocard0" Driver "intel" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Videocard0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 EndSubSection EndSection (note that I'm using the 1680x1050 lcd driver but I do not have that resolution available) from /root/.xesssion-errors localuser:root being added to access control list SESSION_MANAGER=local/id10t:/tmp/.ICE-unix/3320 compiz: No stencil buffer.
