Hey there,
I've been having this problem with my Dell Inspiron 2600 laptop for a while now: I cant get it to work with any of the intel drivers.
I am 100% sure that I have an i830 chipset, which is (apparently) covered by the i810 driver. Only this does not work, and produces a really annoying black flickering effect without actually outputting anything.
So right now Im stuck with vesa. Just like I was with gentoo, sabayon, debian , (list goes on). I thought I'd try Ubuntu again because of its new Dell support, but Im still getting the same problems.
If anybody could shed some light I'd be really really grateful.
Here's the device section of Xorg.conf:
Section "Device"
### Available Driver options are:-
### Values: <i>: integer, <f>: float, <bool>: "True"/"False",
### <string>: "String", <freq>: "<f> Hz/kHz/MHz"
### [arg]: arg optional
#Option "NoAccel" # [<bool>]
#Option "SWcursor" # [<bool>]
#Option "ColorKey" # <i>
#Option "CacheLines" # <i>
#Option "Dac6Bit" # [<bool>]
#Option "DRI" # [<bool>]
#Option "NoDDC" # [<bool>]
#Option "ShowCache" # [<bool>]
#Option "XvMCSurfaces" # <i>
#Option "PageFlip" # [<bool>]
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "vesa"
VendorName "Intel Corporation"
BoardName "82830 CGC [Chipset Graphics Controller]"
BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection
Btw I've tried the i810 driver with the following options set to "true":
DRI, NoAccel, FBDev
