Hi, We (the university & I) recently set up a system with a matsnic MS7012D board, that includes the intel i810 chipset. I installed Storm 'Rain' and updated to Potato. I couldn`t get anywhere with xfree86 3.3.6? and agpgart so I installed the latest 2.4 kernel (test8). The system boots fine, but xfree freezes, with the default modes, also with modelines I have put in. What I get is four pieces of twm on the screen: the left half is covered with an xterm screen from top to bottom. On the left half of the screen are two xterms starting about a cm down, one on top of the other. In the upper right-hand corner is a piece of an xterm with a clock. I have experimented with sync timings and line lengths with no improvement (sometimes the right hand xterm gets bigger). The mouse pointer is frozen in the middle. I have tried some options in XFree86Config: NoAccell, SWCursor and Dac6bit. They don't do anything. There are no errors listed in /var/log/XFree86.0.log, although it mentions an unknown Intel chipset (0x7125). At this point I'm lost - does anybody know what's going on?
