Guest ardenen Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 (edited) I installed the official release of KDE 10 on a Dell Optiplex GX100. I believe the graphics card is an Intel 810. I have a Dell Trinitron 19" monitor and it should be able to run any resolution Mandrake throws at it. However, I am running the monitor, keyboard and mouse off of an OmniCube 4-port KVM switch. If I run kde the screen goes blank like it's trying to initialize the video and then it runs up a bunch of information - the gist of which is "no screens found". If I run startkde it says unable to open display "". Any ideas why it won't load KDE? Edited September 2, 2004 by ardenen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidzoo Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 Try booting up, log in, su to root, and type XFdrake (case sensitive) and set up your monitor again. It happens sometimes. I've never been able to figure out why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ardenen Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 When I do a test with XFdrake it gives an error: I810(0): AGP GART support is not available. Make sure your kernal has It looks like it cuts off the last part of the error. I've tried to run the test with the generic Intel driver and it doesn't seem to work either.

Guest ardenen Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 (edited) Interesting... if I run a modprobe intel-agp and then try kde it runs.... is there anyway to run a modprobe at startup?
