[arch-general] Howto create initial xorg.conf for intel 915?
Listmates: I have been throught http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Intel_Graphics, and even added the section on howto calculate your VideoRam value, but I didn't find anything about generating an initial xorg.conf for the intel card. Currently I have no xorg.conf and things are working, but not as fast as they could. I would like to configure the card to use UXA accell, but I need an xorg.conf to tweak. Anybody know a quick way to create one? Thanks. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Without xorg.conf, UXA of intel card would work defaultly. In my case it's all going fine~ You can check Xorg.log.0 in /var/log/. BTW, I'm using intel X4500 MHD. On Mon, May 18, 2009 at 5:51 PM, David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E. <drankinatty@suddenlinkmail.com> wrote:

Hmm, Leeyee, On this dell box with a 915G, the default w/o and xorg.conf and tweaks is EXA Accell: (II) intel(0): Integrated Graphics Chipset: Intel(R) 915G (--) intel(0): Chipset: "915G" (--) intel(0): Linear framebuffer at 0xC0000000 (--) intel(0): IO registers at addr 0xDFF00000 (WW) intel(0): libpciaccess reported 0 rom size, guessing 64kB (==) intel(0): Using EXA for acceleration So it looks like I will need the xorg.conf after all. Thanks for your help in pointing me in the right direction. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Xorg -configure Then move /root/xorg.conf.new to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and add: Option "AccelMethod" "UXA" To the section of your videocard. No need to set other things like videoram, etc.

Jan, Leeyee Thank you both. That's just what I needed. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E. Rankin Law Firm, PLLC 510 Ochiltree Street Nacogdoches, Texas 75961 Telephone: (936) 715-9333 Facsimile: (936) 715-9339 www.rankinlawfirm.com

You could also enable kernel modesetting, and it will use UXA automatically, so no xorg.conf needed.

Look in your Xorg.0.log. X will list the contents of the implied xorg.conf that it is using. Grab that and use it as a starting point. HTH, DR
