If you are on Etch you will need xserver-xorg-video-i810. Run "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and choose the "i810" driver if it is not selected already. xserver-xorg-video-intel is the new driver for these cards from Lenny onwards, and the xserver-xorg-video-i810 package has become a transitional package which installs the other one in the newer branches. When in doubt, something like "apt-cache search intel video" will help you in such situations. -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
