[Intel VGA] Drivers and config

Re: [Intel VGA] Drivers and config

you can try that xorg.conf very easily by saving it to /etc/X11/ and then reboot the machine.
if you don't have a working video server after reboot, you will be thrown to a prompt to log in do so and then run the command
[code=to remove xorg file if broken]sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf[/code]and reboot (sudo reboot) to restore you previous video settings.
good luck.

Edit: my netbook has an intel 945 it uses the i915 driver.

No...didn't work... Maybe it's wrong file...
Happens that wile is starting the XServer (if there is one in new version) the screen became all black...
Can you read that xorg file...maybe there are some errors that i don't see...

Read through Intel Graphics Performance Guide for Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty) Users. While it addressed the problem with Jaunty, it may still shed some insight into your current issue - it deals with the problem experienced by Intel Graphics, including your specific GPU.

Hi...

But are they two separate drivers, intel versus i915?

Re: [Intel VGA] Drivers and config

their are IIRC 3 different drivers for the various intel video chipsets and yes they overlap the hardware.

Hi...

overlap as in you can use the intel driver (or vice versa) in place of the i915 for the same chipset?
