Intel Graphics - Arch

Hello

First sorry for my english is really poor.

Last week my old graphics card burned and i had to start using my second (integrated with motherboard chipset gpu) but now i have a problem. After deleting all old nvidia drivers, and installing drivers for my intel card i can`t still start my X server

Can anybody give me a example of xorg.conf for my card , here is result of lspci :

VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82G33/G31 Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)

And second question :

How to check how much memory have this card from my RAM ? I can`t find that option in my BIOS.

> i can`t still start my X server
Any errors in the logs? What driver are you using (version), what xorg version, are you using KMS?

To know how much VRAM does it have, run

lspci -v | grep -i -A9 vga

Re: Intel Graphics - Arch

Yes i have removed my old xorg.conf and make new using Xorg -configure, X servers starts but i cannot change resolution (i have 640x480). But in xorg on monitor section i have only 1680x1050 - can i change resolution from running X session ?

If yeas, can somebody tell me the command ?

Re: Intel Graphics - Arch

What's the output of 'xrandr'? The driver should pick the right resolution, so sth might have gone wrong.
Post the output of xorg logs.

Re: Intel Graphics - Arch

If you dont have any config it should auto detect everything with the latest xorg. Including resolution.

Re: Intel Graphics - Arch

Run

zgrep -i  KMS=y /proc/config.gz
sudo cat /sys/module/i915/parameters/modeset

You should get

[karol@black ~]$ zgrep -i  KMS=y /proc/config.gz
CONFIG_DRM_I915_KMS=y
[karol@black ~]$ sudo cat /sys/module/i915/parameters/modeset
1

or you don't have KMS configured.
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/KMS will help you with KMS. Don't use the Polish wiki http://wiki.arch-linux.pl/wiki/Xorg as it is very old and obsolete.

BTW: check out http://forum.archlinux.pl/ - maybe somebody can help you.
