Hello,
I'm finishing up my first install on a sony viao laptop.
lshw shows:
*-display:0

product: Mobile Integrated Graphics Controller

lspci -v shows:

Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c) (prog-if 00 [VGA])

Googling, all I found useful is:

Subject: Re: Intel integrated graphics
List-id: Gentoo Linux mail <gentoo-laptop.gentoo.org>
There is a i915 DRI driver integrated with the kernel.
Even this page did not help:
http://gentoo-wiki.com/Index:Hardware
This page :
http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/model-documents.pl?mdl=VGNFZ140E
Tell me that it has this video card:
Mobile Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100
Video Ram 358MB chipset 965GM
Anyone know what I should use for the make.conf VIDEO_CARDS
setting?
Anyone know of an example xorg.conf example I can use for the
laptop video and LCD screen sections?
Any help is appreciated....

Just use a section with the i810 driver and you should be good. Nothing fancy.

Hmmm, not working for me
eix xorg-server shows:
video_cards_i810
(even though my chipset is a "965GM" which is not specifically
listed in the chipsets covered by the i810 driver(flag).
I also emerged "sys-apps/915resolution-0.5.3-r1"
and tried to follow this url for xorg.conf
http://www.geocities.com/stomljen/xorg_conf.html
but I get a very similar error as with my hacked version
of xorg.conf (here are the relevant portions:

Note I tried with a single and dual entries for "BusID"

I always get a similar error to this:

The current i810 driver doesnt behave very well for me - blank screens,
not being able to run an external monitor correctly and the like. The
last one that did is x11-drivers/xf86-video-i810-1.7.4 (a good reason
for the modular xorg builds!)
Also make sure you are using resolutions that are covered by both your
monitor(s) and the card bios - they all have to agree or it falls apart
(fiddling them with i915-resolution didnt work), despite trying to
ignore EDID and DDC. The highest common resolution I have is 1024x768.
For my Sony:
Section "Device"
Identifier "i915"
Driver "i810"
VideoRam 32768
Option "DPMS" "On"
Option "DDC" "Off"
Option "IgnoreEDID" "true"
Option "MonitorLayout" "CRT,LFP"
Option "Clone" "true"
Option "CloneRefresh" "60"
#Option "NoAccel"
BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
#Option "ForceBIOS" "1366x768=1280x1024"
Screen 0

Hello,
This did not work for the 965GM chipset this
sony viao (VGN-FZ140E) has.
I went to the vesa driver and have it working at
800x600.......
I'll keep after it until I figure it out. For now
I have a baseline xwindows running...
Looking around the net folks are talking about the
latest driver release from Intel, for X does cover this
chipset, so it's a waiting game for it to make it to
gentoo.
Also I guess after reading quite a lot, SONY is pretty much
not very friendly to the greater Linux community......
thanks,
James
thanks for the ideas.
James
