Hardy – graphics

April 9th, 2008

I replaced the default intel 810 driver with the experimental mode setting driver. This made my external monitor work.

Section "device" #
	Identifier    "device1"
	Boardname    "Intel 945"
	Busid        "PCI:0:2:0"
	#    Driver        "i810"
	Driver        "intel"
	Screen    0
	Vendorname    "Intel"
EndSection

The graphical tools to set the graphics card, monitors and resolution are still crappy. I guess this is related to the intel board because it never worked correct. The strange thing is: I know it can work. I’ve changed my xorg.conf in Gutsy and I could get it to work as it should. But it looks like the graphical configuration is still complicated in X :-(
