Ok, so installing XFree86 4.3 did the trick so far as driver support for my Intel 845 video card is concerned - thanks! However, the problems haven't stopped there. Now I get the following errors which cause the Xserver to crash: (EE) GARTInit: Unable to open /dev/agpart (No such device) (EE) I810(0): No Video BIOS modes for chosen depth. (EE) Screens(s) found, but none have a usable configuration. Fatal Server Error: no screens found I get these message when I set the color depth to 24 bits and specify nothing for the video card RAM. If I set the color depth to 16 bits, I am able to get a very simplified GUI desktop with awful resolution. I'd appreciate it if somebody can point me in the right direction from here.
