This guide shows you how to install the official device driver for Intels 82865G video adapter
Required Files
- XFree86(I've tried to install it with xorg and just got frustrated)
- 82865G Driver
Getting started
(Optional - i reinstalled linux from a fresh install format and all i was messing around with so many filles trying to get the 82865G to work i wanted a fresh system with all the origianl settings. since you probably cant get into the X System you probably dont have much on your system anyways so why not.)
Installing XFree86
1. login as root
2. Untar XFree86 source files
$ tar -xvf XFree86-#.#.#-src-1.tgz $ tar -xvf XFree86-#.#.#-src-2.tgz $ tar -xvf XFree86-#.#.#-src-3.tgz $ tar -xvf XFree86-#.#.#-src-4.tgz $ tar -xvf XFree86-#.#.#-src-5.tgz $ tar -xvf XFree86-#.#.#-src-6.tgz $ tar -xvf XFree86-#.#.#-src-7.tgz
$ cd xc $ make World
make install make install.man
You are now finished installing the XFree86 System now it is time to install the 82865G driver you downloaded earlier
