PCLOS2007 driver

[markc]

In PCLOS2007 there is a driver called
X-11-driver-video-I810 1.6.5-3pclos2007

Is there a way to grab the package from this version and install it in 2009.2


Thank you

Mark

I don't think you would have much luck going that route.

Have you tried LXDE 2009.4, just to see how it handles the chipset?

Thank you for the link, I will try the LXDE version and try to update it to KDE
I wonder what changed in the driver, from 2007 - 2009, it seems strange that they would not keep compatibility with the 845 video.
I have tried the 2010 beta live cd on this box and it has the same problem, I see you posted about that in the other thread.

Intel release some problematic drivers.  Since they are "open-source" friendly, they made their way into X, and some kernels.

I also have the 845 chipset.  It was particularly hard hot by this.  The 865 fared marginally better, while the 915-955 got by quite acceptably, but were lacking proper OpenGL support.

The kernel in the 2009.4 release has updated drivers, and it fares quite a bit better (doesn't hurt that LXDE is more resource friendly than KDE, either  , so I never did migrate back to KDE on that chipset).
