Hello All,

I've got a Intel Desktop board with the 82915G Express chipset
integrated in it. This works with SUSE and a few other distros
by way of drivers supplied by intels website. The problem is this
graphics adapter is it uses system memory and has no fixed amount of
video ram. Is there a workaround for this for slackware.

Thanks everybody.

[Slackware 10.1]

I'm experiencing a lot of troubles with the 10.1 on my laptop. Whereas
the soundcard and the cdrom worked well with Slackware 9.0, they don't
work any longer. I hope the next version will fix all these problems.

By the way I'm trying to install oracle but when I launch runInstaller
I get this message

<error message>

Initializing Java Virtual Machine from /tmp/OraInstall2005-08-23_04-35-37PM/jre/bin/java. Please wait...
Error occurred during initialization of VM

</error message>

Obviously something wrong happens with jre. Could anybody help me ?

I don't know which driver you're using for the soundcard but with the
snd-intel8x0 one in ALSA I ended up compiling it into the kernel and
then to get it working I had to mute the "IEC958 Capture Monitor" in the
mixer and unmute PCM.

Hope this helps.

Cheers

Regarding the video driver, you can specify the max video ram in
/etc/X11/xorg.conf

xorg.conf
-------------
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Corp.|82865G Integrated Graphics D"
Driver "i810"
BoardName "Unknown"
VideoRam 32768
Option "XvMCSurfaces" "6"
EndSection
------------------------

BTW for DRI to work, min of 32M videoRam is required. Do check with
$glxinfo
that DRI is enabled.
