XORG i810 problem

Asked by tepaks

After long struggle with my Compaq EVO D510 and buggy GRUB loader finally got Dapper running with LILO just to run in to another problem. Whatever I do with XORG config I can’t get it to initialize i810 driver to a lower refresh rate than 85 Hz. Normally it shouldn’t be a problem but my monitor can’t run higher than 75 Hz. Can anyone hlp me with this one please?

Maybe we will know more when you place here part of your xorg.conf..

Like that:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# **********************************************************************
# Monitor section
# **********************************************************************

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier "My Monitor"
    HorizSync 30-60 # for correct values you need monitor manual
    VertRefresh 60-75 # for correct values you need... //this is maybe good?!
EndSection

# **********************************************************************
# Graphics device section
# **********************************************************************

Section "Device"
    Identifier " dev_i810"
    Driver "i810"
    #VideoRam 16384
    # Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate
EndSection

Or write model of your monitor... (and vendor)

I don't have drivers for my monitor, needer a manual. It'a
 Fujitsu 715 17" CRT. Only thing that I know for sure is that it's best resolution is 1152x864@75 (it runs fine on XP). By manually adding modeline entry I got it on 1024x768@75 but not any higher. Chipset's BIOS supports all tree modes but somehow I can't get it set up on my desktop. Another thing is that acceleration doesn't work to. Graphics are wherry slow and flickering. As far as I understand it's a driver problem. I'm newbie to Linux so any help is more than welcome.

Can you help with this problem?
