Multiple Driver Special Edition Build

Update 12/01

http://chromium.arnoldthebat.co.uk/special/Cx86OS_R34-5196_Multi_2.7z contains additional ATI drivers for testing.

Once loaded, I’m not expecting the graphics to work immediately since xorg.conf will be read only so the auto detect features may not work. So the initial boot screen may well still fail but [Crtl-Alt-F2] should get you to command prompt

To potentially remedy, once logged in, issue the following:

sudo su
mount -o remount, rw /
Xorg -configure
cp /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
reboot

The pray to the Gods of Graphics for goodness to occur.

Hi All

http://chromium.arnoldthebat.co.uk/special/Cx86OS_R34-5196_Multi.7z contains multiple driver enhancements including:

  • Intel GMA 500 Graphics Drivers
  • Nvidia Generic Graphic Driver
  • AMD Generic Graphics Driver

This build still includes the Broadcom drivers noted in the previous post.

Please don’t expect too much since I have no way of testing these so have no idea if they have worked. I’ve merely added them to the kernel as part of the compile.

If you could respond to this post specifically with what works, what doesn’t (and what your laptop build is), Ill see what I can do for future builds.. Please also post output of lsmod, dmesg and Xorg.0.log (preferrably to http://pastebin.com/) so I can review if its even loading.

As always bear in mind this is a one time build so updating from the dev server will undo all additions..
