Kernel 2.6 ... i810 driver doesn't works

I have installed archlinux with kernel 2.6 but driver i810 for my graphic card doesn't works and X ends with "module i810 not found" message.There is file in /lib/modules called i810.ko, but I don't know if this is driver file.

Re: Kernel 2.6 ... i810 driver doesn't works

you probably don't have xf86-video-i810 installed. smile

The latest version of Xorg (version 7) doesn't include individual video drivers. They have to be installed separately. So, to find your driver, do a search with pacman:

pacman -Ss i810

This will give you this:

current/xf86-video-i810 1.4.1.3-2
    X.org Intel i810/i830/i915 video drivers

That tells you the name of the package in current you want. Now you install it with:

pacman -S xf86-video-i810

Now everything should be fine after you reload X.

Re: Kernel 2.6 ... i810 driver doesn't works

Driver i810 won't work until it is installed:

pacman -Sy xf860-video-i810

Have a look at the xorg7 wiki page for more details.

Re: Kernel 2.6 ... i810 driver doesn't works

That wouldn't help very much, the vesa driver precludes hardware acceleration... As everyone else said, install xf86-video-i810 and see where that gets you.
