Re: Support for Intel 82845G/GL Chipset???

I gave up on the ATI board, for now.  I switched to a NVIDIA quadro and no problem at all.  X server cpu utilization is pretty low.  Whenever I get a breather I'll revisit the ATI board.

thanks,

I don't know much about the Intel driver, but I do notice your
VideoRam entry in the Section "Device" which seems to cause the
driver some confusion:

     VideoRam 128000000

The VideoRam option describes the videoram in kilobytes, not bytes.

I am currently running Debian with the 2.6 kernel on an IBM NetVista
with a 2.66 GHz Pentium 4 processor. It comes equipped with a 82845G/GL
[Brookdale-G] Chipset for video which provides the following video mode
capabilities:
640 x 480, 16M colors (60, 72, 75, 85, 100, 120 Hz)
800 x 600, 16M colors (60, 72, 75, 85, 100, 120 Hz)
1024 x 768, 16M colors (60, 70, 75, 85, 100,120 Hz)
1152 x 864, 16M colors (60, 70, 75, 85, 100 Hz)
1280x 1024, 16M colors (60, 75, 85, 100 Hz)
1600 x 1200, 16M colors (60 Hz)
1920 x 1440, 64K colors (60, 75 Hz)
2048 x 1536, 64K colors (60 Hz)
However, I can only get those modes when I'm running Windows XP from
which I'm trying to get migrate all my computing needs. Nevertheless, it
seems that with XFree86, I have to choose between the higher color depth
at 640x480 resolution or 256 colors  at 1024x768. However, I can
compromise somewhat by using a "virtual desktop" of 1024x768 at 16bit
color depth, but this is a very inconvenient mode of operation,
especially when I try to do graphic manipulations. The configuration
done by XFree86's configure function will only give me a resolution of
640x480 with no other options.
Is there any way to get the proper video modes to operate?
