Dear all, |

Short version: |

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. |

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