[gentoo-user] Driver of Intel 945's video card?

[gentoo-user] Driver of Intel 945's video card?

[Chuanwen Wu]

Hi,everybody!

When i do xorgconfig,I choose i810 to my video card driver of intel 945.
I can enter gnome but I found something is wrong:
The fonts in some vertical line is not clear,no matter the english
characters or the my local charcters.

I am sure my fonts.conf is correct because I the same setting in my
another machine which the video card is not intel 945.

there are some informaiton below:
#lspci
00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 945G/P Memory Controller Hub (rev 02)
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 945G Integrated
Graphics Controller (rev 02)

And my display is 17inch's LCD screen.

So I think maybe the driver is not very appropriate because I know the
i810 driver is very old.

I need your advices.

Thanks in advanced!

Hi!

I have the same video card and use the i810 driver, it's the
correct driver.

I had the same problem with a laptop lcd until I realised that choosing the
appropriate modeline will solve that. Try using the little gtf command line
app to determine the right one, put it in xorg.conf and zap X. Maybe that
helps?

Thank Sebastian Ferrara and karlos!
Now I have fixed the problem.The cause is the inappropriate setting of
the LCD.It's my first time to use a LCD,and I even didn't know Lcd is
so different from CRT.
After I press "auto",everything is all right!

To Sebastian Ferrara:
The i810 driver is Ok.But it seems someone   has reported that the
i810 just can be used with the LCD that  smaller or equal than
17inch(mine is 17inch,so is ok,too ).I have found a article on
gentoo-wiki about the configuration of the kernel to use
Intel_945G.May be you will be interested.
