I'm not all suprised that you'd say that, really. I tried the i810 |
| 20 |
driver and it wouldn't work. That's why I'm using the vesa driver. I |
| 21 |
tried downloading the graphics driver for the video card from intel's |
| 22 |
website, there was an rpm and a tarball. The rpm wouldn't install and |
| 23 |
the tarball wouldn't compile. I using the drivers in the kernel but |
| 24 |
those didn't work either. X just wouldn't start with it. X reports the |
| 25 |
video card to be an Intel 915GM/910ML/915MS Graphics Controllor. From |
| 26 |
what I've read, the i810 driver is supposed to work with that card, but |
| 27 |
apparently it doesn't. Maybe you have some suggestions? |

I have the hibernate script installed already, but I haven't really |
| 49 |
messed with that. I'll check it out and see if I can get something to |
| 50 |
work. I've just been mostly concerned about the suspend to ram function |
| 51 |
than the hibernate function. |

Thanks for the help! |
