Intel i810 on Dell 4800 – FC9
July 20, 2008
The
intel
driver seems to have gone a few optimizations too far – so that it hangs the machine in its default state. Here’s what works for me (start with
Option “NoAccel” “true”
, and work your way up as far as possible without crashing):
# From /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Section “Device”
Identifier “Videocard0″
Driver “intel”
# Option “NoAccel” “true”
Option “FramebufferCompression” “true”
Option “Tiling” “true”
Option “DRI” “true”
Option “Legacy3D” “true”
Option “XVideo” “false”
Option “AperTexSize” “8″
Option “AccelMethod” “XAA”
#Option “AccelMethod” “EXA”
Option “ModeDebug” “true”
BusID “PCI:0:2:0″
EndSection
All of these options (with terse descriptions) can be found on the
man intel
pages.
