Dear all, |

Short version: |
5 |
If you upgrade to xorg-x11-7.4, xorg-server-1.5 and |
6 |
xf86-video-i810-2.4.2-r1, and X does not start, change Section |
7 |
"Device" Driver "i810" to "intel" in your xorg.conf. Would have been |
8 |
nice if Portage had informed us of this. |
9 |
|
10 |
If nothing else works, revert to "vesa" (or "vga") and start searching the Net. |

Long version: |
14 |
Yesterday I upgraded (--deep) my Xorg to xorg-x11-7.4, hence |
15 |
xorg-server-1.5. Upon reboot X would not start. First it complained of |
16 |
missing drivers, and to get rid of these errors I simply commented |
17 |
these lines in xorg.conf: |
18 |
# Load "xtrap" |
19 |
# Load "record" |
20 |
# Load "type1" |
21 |
|
22 |
However, X still refuses to start. I figured, at least I think that |
23 |
the problem was in the Device driver: "i810". |
24 |
=x11-drivers/xf86-video-i810-2.4.2-r1 refuses to detect about anything |
25 |
(also checked with dmesg). I used "vesa" as a joker, and to my |
26 |
surprise X started. But I'd much like to switch to the i810 one. |
27 |
|
28 |
I tried rebuilding xf86-video-i810, but it brought nothing new. I |
29 |
tried downgrading to stable versions (1.6.5, 1.7.4 and 2.1.1), or |
30 |
unstable (2.2.1), but the driver would simply not compile. I did |
31 |
manage to compile 2.3.2, but I see the same behaviour as with |
32 |
2.4.2-r1. |
33 |
"(EE) No devices detected. |

40 |
|
41 |
When loading X with "vesa", I still get some non-fatal errors: |
42 |
|
