Looking at all this and the contents of the rpm, it appears that it doesn't add much to his graphics experience using the builtin Intel stuff. It only allocates 32mb for video memory max and replaces many drivers already included with SuSE & X.org. Plus, it would probably give him the added headache of cranky or outdated drivers like nVidia does with each kernel update.
Of course, it's a mute point anyway, since Gil is not wanting to get the Intel graphics working, they do already, but he wants the PCI cards to work!
Hi Lee, I haven't studied Gil's problem in detail... and you know this stuff is hard at a distance, anyway... but it seems to me SaX2 is not recognizing the hardware once the on-board graphics have been turned off and the PCI card plugged in. My hope was that Intel's Linux software would enable SaX2 to recognize the change and "see" the add-in card. Wouldn't the "on-board graphics off" function that also enables the PCI graphics bus need some kind of software support, too, and not just the shared memory management?. Anyway, you're probably right... I just thought I'd share my line of thinking with you. regards, - Carl
