Xorg failure i915 module not found
« on: May 01, 2009, 03:12:35 PM »
Hello friends
I finally decide to try out TCL on my desktop ;D along with some puppy linux installations
As i need better screen resolution and also an easiest way to have ru keyborad setup, i decided to install xorg.tce but xorg failed with this error:

i915 module not found.

 I thought it's inside the tce( there's even dri module for that card)
so i'm still in xvesa for now....

i use Tcl 2

I think it means the DRM module, which provides 3d acceleration. It's in the graphics-2.6.29.1-tinycore.tcem extension.
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

..and you will need to "modprobe" the drm module before starting xorg...

i've never had such problems before in puppy or alt linux, so i'm a bit disoriented ;D
ok i 'll try to load drm module and look what happens
anyway to get xorg working i do not need modules for other videocards ?
