Updated drivers for the intel 82852/82855 graphics chipset are available from itnel. These drivers support the multihead functionality available on these chipsets. I need this functionality for my laptop to be able to display video output on the lcd and projector simultaneously. I have downloaded the driver but get the error below when compiling . I have contact intel support but they just say they only support redhat or suse :( Download site. http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df/filter_results.asp?strOSs=39&strTypes=DRV%2CARC&ProductID=922&OSFullName=Linux*&submit=Go%21 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Download tar.za version of driver from http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df/filter_results.asp?strOSs=39&strTypes=DRV%2CARC&ProductID=922&OSFullName=Linux*&submit=Go%21 2.

ERROR: Kernel modules did not compile The DRI drivers can not be installed without the latest kernel modules. Installation will be aborted. See the dri.log file for information on what went wrong. ====================================== Output of log file rm -f *.o *.ko dristat drmstat .depend .*.flags .*.d .*.cmd make: *** No rule to make target `gdg.ko'. Stop. Expected Results: Driver should compile and then I should be able to select it for x windows. I would like to setup multihead functionality with this. It would be great if some help on the XF86Config file could be provided as well.
I got this working as follows: 1) In the dripkg/drm/Makefile.linux file change references from modules to link from *.o to *.ko. These are at line at position 46 (see below) # Modules for all architectures MODULE_LIST := gamma.o tdfx.o r128.o radeon.o mga.o #sis.o # Modules only for ix86 architectures ifneq (,$(findstring 86,$(MACHINE))) MODULE_LIST += gdg.o i810.o endif =========================================== to # Modules for all architectures MODULE_LIST := gamma.ko tdfx.ko r128.ko radeon.ko mga.ko #sis.ko # Modules only for ix86 architectures ifneq (,$(findstring 86,$(MACHINE))) MODULE_LIST += gdg.ko i810.ko endif 2) Edit the dripkg/drm/drm_vm.h file and comment out the DRM_DEBUG macro. Since it is a C file this can be done with the comment tags //. It starts on line 103 i.e. DRM_DEBUG("baddr = 0x%lx page = 0x%p, offset = 0x%lx, count=%d\n", baddr, __va(agpmem->memory->memory[offset]), offset, atomic_read(&page->count)); to //DRM_DEBUG("baddr = 0x%lx page = 0x%p, offset = 0x%lx, count=%d\n", // baddr, __va(agpmem->memory->memory[offset]), offset, // atomic_read(&page->count)); I found the solution somewhere on the net.
Is it possible to create an ebuild for the inteldriver? i have the same chipset in my notebook and i hope for more openglperformance with intels driver (instead of xfree/xorg one), working dualhead and maybe even working tv-out. working tv-out is one thing i'm realy missing. request: ebuild for intel graphics chipsetdriver
You're certainly welcome to contribute an ebuild. This isn't top priority on my list of things to do, so that would definitely speed things up.
Do either of you have any luck with the dual-head support in recent versions of X.org's i810 driver? Those Intel drivers are almost a year old now, perhaps this request can be closed.
I believe the i915 is now the standard driver, and according to the changelog in http://cvs.freedesktop.org/xorg/xc/RELNOTES?rev=1.9 from last September, dual-head is available in i830+ with X.Org 6.8+.
