i810 and hwd

So searching and seeing what's up in this (http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=30653) thread I have the xf86-video-i810 package via pacman and hwd still gives me an xorg.conf that doesn't really function. It doesn't detect my monitor appropriately, uses intelfb as the driver, etc.The monitor's native resolution is 1280x800 and the driver should be i810. Everything else works perfectly, I just can't get this to work. What do I need to do?

Re: i810 and hwd

I had no success from that either. Thankfully I had ubuntu generated xorg.conf which works.

So maybe this helps you get started:

Re: i810 and hwd

i just use X --configure.. seems to work better and creates a much cleaner xorg.conf

Re: i810 and hwd

No matter which method of configuration I am using I seem to get one of these errors:

(EE) module ABL major verison (0) doesn't match the server's verison (1)
(EE) Failed to load module "i810" (module requirement mismatch, 0)
(EE) No drivers available
(EE) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI capable

"FATAL ERROR:
No screen"

I even tried the Ubuntu generated xorg.conf from a livecd and the same thing happened. Google isn't helping me too much on these.
