Hello. Recently I bumped into PC with mb on i815 chipset with integrated videocard which didn't supported vesa properly. So loading X with "vesa" driver cause total mess on screen. But "intel" driver works fine. Is there any way to automate recognition of such cases and X reconfigure?

Elmar

you can do the same http://forum.plop.at/index.php/topic,414.msg2734.html#msg2734
create a xorg.conf with the intel driver and copy the file at startup to /var/xorg.conf

regards

but how to decide is it necessary? i want flexibility without manual config editing every time.

Elmar

you only have to write the copy command to the runme.sh. then your xorg.conf is always used. no manual copy is required

i mean, what if videocard is not intel?
