Intel 830MG Chipset

[Jonas Duebi]

I bought a Omnibook XE3 F3956 and like to install Linux. Which Distribution is not important. I've problems with the Screen, I choose the vesa drivers for the 810 Chipset from Intel. It works, but the Problem is, I can't use the full screen. I tried many things but it doesn't work with 1024 x 768! What could be the Problem?

Hello,

I've heard somewhere that the driver for that chipset is included in XFree86 4.2.0, released 2 weeks ago.

I would suggest you upgrade to that version, in order to get you graphics adapter working.

Good luck.

What's the video Chip of the Intel 830MG Chipset? I heard something about a Savage... and the Omnibook....
