Intel card problem

[Husse]

Well the answer depends on which Intel chip it is (as always)
Please post the output of lspci

It's about the same as the 3100 However the 965 is on the compiz blacklist (sorry I forgot that)
Here's a bit lengthy solution

Use Synaptic to see if these are installed

xserver-xorg-video-intel
xserver-xorg
libgl1-mesa-dri
libgl1-mesa-glx
libglu1-mesa
mesa-utils
If not install them (right click and mark for install - you can mark all and then install in one go)

Note that the libglu1-mesa package might not work, that's OK, don't worry.

Edit xorg.conf

Code: Select all

gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Edit the "Generic Video Card" section to look like this:

Section "Device"
Identifier "Generic Video Card"
Driver "intel"
BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
Option "monitor-TV" "TVOutput"
Option "CacheLines" "32768"
Option "DRI" "true"
Option "PageFlip" "true"
Option "TripleBuffer" "true"
EndSection

Then add this to the bottom of xorg.conf

Code:

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "TVOutput"
Option "Disable" "true"
EndSection

Reboot your computer, and go to the screensavers (just to make sure this works first):

System-->Preferences-->Screensaver

Preview a few of the screensavers in full screen, and if your system doesn't hang/crash after a minute, then this is a good sign! If your system does hang/freeze, then do NOT, I repeat, do NOT enable Desktop Effects!
If it works - you are OK

So when is the next version of linux coming out and does anyone know if it will have drivers compatible with the Intel GM965?

Soon - if we figure out whats wrong with my install and a few other things there may be a public beta any moment....
And the support for 965 seems to be better

Perhaps not - if it gives any comfort to you I can tell you it does not work well in Windows either
