Does PCBSD support the Intel GMA X3100 graphics chipset? If so, how do I go about getting the source and compiling it? Please don't make me go back to Mandriva!

From the intel x.org driver man page:

Quote:
intel supports the i810, i810-DC100, i810e, i815, i830M, 845G, 852GM,
855GM, 865G, 915G, 915GM, 945G, 945GM, 965G, 965Q, 946GZ, 965GM,
945GME, G33, Q33, and Q35 chipsets


I think the X3100 is a GM965 chipset or some thing like that so it might work, beyond that some one else would have to step in.

Because the only ****y intel graphics I have access to is my desktops mother boards built in which I reserve for emergency usage if my nVidia card blows up ^_^

Hmmmmm....well, I flipped through my cd wallet and found a pclinuxos live cd, and booted that up, same problem. Went online and found out they had quietly released there 2008 version, "minime", and gave that one a whirl. What da ya know, it detected my graphics chipset and native resolution correctly! Even better, compbiz-fusion worked like a dream! Now, all I have to do is track down the new driver pclinuxos is using, and submit it somewhere here for .pbi recompilation. Anyone who can help me get compbiz-fusion working in pc-bsd will get $10 via paypal, or I can donate it to pc-bsd directly. I gotta get pc-bsd up and running smoothly for DefCon 16 this August.

Mm DefCon, sounds like a interesting trip :-)

You might be able to check if there is a manual or info page installed for what ever driver it is loading out of xorg.conf.

The X3100 has the GL960 or GM965 (Mobile) chipset and should certainly be supported in the latest release (1.5). I had some trouble with my GM965 chipset with FreeBSD 7.0R's installed Xorg 7.3 drivers as the i810 driver didn't support it. To fix it, I had to remove the i810 driver package and install the 'intel' driver.

I should be installing PC-BSD 1.5 this week, so I'll let you know how it went if you don't test before I do ;)

I have a Dell Inspiron 1420n with the Intel GMA 965 (or X3100) accelerator. Bear in mind that I just started using PC-BSD yesterday or so (I'm trying to transition from Ubuntu and Linux-based operating systems toward Unix/BSD), but I had no luck in getting PC-BSD 1.5 to configure X with anything but the xorg vesa driver at a non-native 1024x768. (I also had no luck with wi-fi, wired networking, or sound, but that's another battle...)

I'm hopeful that perhaps someone else has been able to get the X3100 working--or will!--with PC-BSD, because I'm enamored with it already, and I hope to use it on my laptop as well as my desktop. :)

Note that I can get the xorg intel driver from Ubuntu Gutsy (x86 and amd64) to work just fine with the X3100, and it will use Compiz Fusion if I append SKIP_CHECKS="yes" to /etc/xdg/compiz/compiz-config (not that this is relevant to PC-BSD, perhaps, but nonetheless). I hope that's meaningful to somebody.

Have you tried installing the updated x.org drivers?
x11-drivers/xorg-drivers

I tried from the PC-BSD 1.5 ports tree; this would be the same version as what is included with PC-BSD's default install (the intel or intel-3d-enable drivers) as far as I can discern (version 2.2.1).

Between the xorg video driver and the wi-fi driver (ipw3945), it looks like I'll see immediate support with PC-BSD 2.0 (or whatever comes next using FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE as a base) but until then, it'll require a little more work to get things functional.

My desktop, thankfully, appears to be perfectly supported in every conceivable way. :D

I have the same problem on notebook HP (Compaq) 6510b with intel x1300 (965GM chip).

I try SUSE linux 10.2 (it support by HP), PC-BSD 1.4.1 and PC-BSD 1.5 and can't fix this problem. Also i try reinstall intel driver from ports collection on PC-BSD 1.5 but problem was not solved.

Could you tell me how to remove/add the pkg's?
i tried:
Code:
root@PCBSD# pkg_delete xf86-video-i810
pkg_delete: no such package 'xf86-video-i810' installed
root@PCBSD# pkg_add xf86-video-intel
pkg_add: can't stat package file 'xf86-video-intel'

but no luck there...

I'm new at BSD in general, i have used Linux for a few years now so im not totaly ignorant :twisted:

thanx

do that:
Code:
# pkg_delete -f -x xf86-video-i810
# pkg_add -r xf86-video-intel


.... and X3100 works great with FreeBSD/PCBSD, I have one.
