Guest damian Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 (edited) Hi, i bougth a new laptopt gateway nv9, intel core i3. It has an new intel arrandale video card. I have installed mandriva one, and i spend two days trying to configure my screen without results.The only driver xorg that works with my card is vesa but at low resolution, if i use a intel of xorg, the computer go blank and i need to edit manually my xorg file in order to restore my machine. I'm really new in mandriva, yet i have tried many methods to solve it . First i have tried ubuntu 9.10 and in a certain moment the video works fine, even with two monitors, but i cant remember what i did, because i was copying a lot o code from the forums. Could somebody guide me, thank you! If you need more information about my files or hardware just let me know. i have found this, but i dont know how to use it: http://intellinuxgraphics.org/install.html 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Arrandale Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 12) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Acer Incorporated [ALI] Device 033d Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 30 Memory at f0000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) Memory at d0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) I/O ports at 1800 Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled] Capabilities: <access denied> Kernel modules: i915 Edited January 10, 2010 by damian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedball2 Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Hi, When using the vesa driver you could try running 'drakx11' from a terminal as root. See if that sorts things out. Or maybe this helps: http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/2010.0_Errata#KMS_is_not_well_supported_by_some_Intel_graphic_cards If it's very new hardware it might not be supported yet.
