re: i830 Success!

[James Cane-Carrasco <cane@ou.edu>]

Can you tell me exactly how you fixed the libfontconfig.so.1 problem? What was the exact cp command that you issued? I have tried to compile CVS from source on my Dell Latitude C400 using Mandrake 9 and got the same error, but can’t figure out how to fix it. (RH8 worked fine, but I have other problems with broken keymaps in RH.)

For the record, and for anyone who is struggling with

this chipset, I have i830MG working nicely on a Vaio

R600HMPD. All that was required is:

1) Compile a (vanilla) 2.4.19 kernel. Install.

2) Download and compile the XFree86 CVS trunk.

Install.

I then had the problem that the XServer could not find

libfontconfig.so.1. I've solved that by copying all of

the modules from the exports directory into

/usr/X11R6/lib. Could anyone confirm if that was wise?

 

What was the exact command?

 

Thanks and best wishes,
