Re: intel gma 945 and xorg.conf

Using "intel" instead of "vesa" you can get widescreen resoultions and also special options. Usually looking up web to find what "special options" you get with xorg is probably the easiest thing to do.

It might help if you give a bit more information.
Let's see, you installed "xf86-video-intel" > pacman -S xf86-video-intel
And then you changed:

Section "Device"
    Identifier "Card0"
    Driver "vesa"
    VendorName "ALL"
    BoradName "ALL"
    BusID  "PCI:1:0:0"

to:

Section "Device"
    Identifier "Card0"
    Driver "intel"
    VendorName "ALL"
    BoradName "ALL"
    BusID  "PCI:1:0:0"

Just to make everything is clear.
It would be best if you show your xorg.conf and when running with 'Driver "intel"' in xorg.conf the Xorg.0.log, in /var/log/.

If you could be so kind, but when you found the solution,
edit your first post and add to the title '[SOLVED]'.

Re: intel gma 945 and xorg.conf

This: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners_Guide

Is helpful smile Specifically this section:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beg … #Install_X

Performance should rather drastically increase when using the intel driver for that chipset.

Re: intel gma 945 and xorg.conf

Did you try running without xorg.conf?

Re: intel gma 945 and xorg.conf

Try using "Xorg -configure" to generate your xorg.conf. These stupid tools don't create working configs usually.

Re: intel gma 945 and xorg.conf

i did it
i ran
X -configure
and i choose for driver intel
i810, option 16 i think...but nothing
X never starts
the strange thing is the driver version
i810, which should be intel only
i have a decent equipment for watch video, even MKV of 720 on my TV/Plasma
but this thing is annoying me a lot
imagine watch a good movie, The Dark Knight, and in every fast movement you perceived that tearing effect
i hate it
