Problem to get 3d work on HP Compaq Business Desktop dx2000

nahoj1976 · 2005-03-16 10:48:14

I bought a brand new HP with linux - mandrake - a month ago. I installed mandrake but then I got so confused that I through it all away and started on again with Archlinux that I have become used to.

Everything (well, of course not everything but most :? ) works all right but a few things doesn't.

First I couldn't get CUPS to work properly but that I solved - but don't ask me how. I think I did the same things over 5 times and then suddenly it worked as it should.

Then I had problems with the sound - but that worsk now after following the wiki.

Then I had problems with playing CD and DVD but that I managed to get to work.

But now I am stuck.

The 3d doesn't work. I tried to install all 3d modules I could find in arch but no result. I tried through hwd -e and lokalsed the modules named there with no result. I even tried NVIDIA (the computer have a intel graphics on board and no Nvidia-card) with the result that now the CD can't play sound-CD and the DVD doesn't work for multimedia despite newest xine and mplayer, koffeine etc I installed.

So I have 3 major problems:

1) the 3d card I want to start working
2) the CD-rom should be able to play sound-CD
3) the DVD should be able to play dvd-films.

Some hard-data:
HP Compaq Business Desktop dx2000
Intel celeron with MMX technology 2.6 Ghz and 400 Mhz system bus
Integrated ADI AD1888 Audio
Integrated Intel extreme Graphics 2 with GDI/GDI+ and Direct Show controller
Graphics memory 16 Mb + extra through Intel Dynamic Video Memory. Complete OpenGL 1.3 support.
2 DVD-drives installed Toshiba Samsung

Any one that could giv me a hint on how to start the solving of this?

Looks like your graphics card is:
Intel® Extreme Graphics 2 (integrated with Intel 865GV chipset)

if you are adventurous, you might try one of the binary linux drivers from intel..

Well, adventurous I don't think I am - but maybee to silly to understand what might happen.

I have tried that too. I downloaded it, compiled it and tried to install it. When installing one module can't be installed automatically - probably since the installer doesn't recognize the Arch architecture. But I can't either understand what module to install where...

But the installer README says that one should be able to use i810 module i.e the module I've been using...

Arch Linux
