8 'mesa-progs-6.5.2' (latest available).
9 'xf86-video-i810-2.1.0' ( 2.1.1 is in testing (~)).

12
13 Section "Device"
14 ### Available Driver options are:-
15 ### Values: <i>: integer, <f>: float, <bool>: "True"/"False",
16 ### <string>: "String", <freq>: "<f> Hz/kHz/MHz"
17 ### [arg]: arg optional
18 Option "Accel" "On" # [<bool>]
19 #Option "SWcursor" # [<bool>]
20 #Option "ColorKey" # <i>
21 #Option "CacheLines" # <i>
22 #Option "Dac6Bit" # [<bool>]
23 #Option "DRI" "true" # [<bool>]
24 #Option "NoDDC" # [<bool>]
25 #Option "ShowCache" # [<bool>]
26 #Option "XvMCSurfaces" # <i>
27 #Option "PageFlip" # [<bool>]
28 Identifier "Card0"
29 Driver "intel"
30 VendorName "Intel Corporation"
31 BoardName "Integrated Graphics Controller"
32 BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
33 EndSection
34
35 This is the result of 'X -config' (with a small format change).
36 I tried permutations of Options suggested on Forum posts without success
37 (I haven't asked on the Forum myself): eg adding 'Option "DRI" "true"',
38 which seems merely to duplicate "Accel" above.
39
40 I am a bit confused by the requirement for 2 drivers i810 i915 .
41 The same dir has i810_dri.so i915tex_dri.so i965_dri.so (all from Mesa).
42 Is it using the wrong driver ? Is there a way to test the others ?
43
44 Thanks again for your response.
