Running any of the following distributions and kernel versions For 32 bit Linux distributions and kernel versions: SUSE* Linux* Professional 9.2 with kernel 2.6.8-24-default SUSE* Linux* Professional 9.2 with kernel 2.6.8-24-smp SUSE* Linux* Professional 9.3 with kernel 2.6.11.4-20a-default SUSE* Linux* Professional 9.3 with kernel 2.6.11.4-20a-smp ************************************************************ * 2. LOCALIZED LANGUAGE ABBREVIATIONS ************************************************************ The Intel(R) Graphics Driver for Linux for XFree86* or X.Org* has not been localized to any language other than U.S. English ************************************************************ * 3. INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE ************************************************************ General Installation Notes: - The operating system must be installed prior to the installation of the driver. - This installation procedure is specific only to the version of driver and installation file included in this release. - This procedure assumes that all of the software associated with this release is located in the same directory. ************************************************************ *3.a. TAR INSTRUCTIONS ************************************************************ 1. Install Linux 2. Log in as root or as a superuser 3. Use a terminal to extract the downloaded files: a. tar –zxvf Intel-3.4.3006-20051209.i386.tar.gz (32 bit) ************************************************************ *3.b RPM INSTRUCTIONS ************************************************************ 1. Ensure the X-server is not currently running. 2. Go to the directory where you saved the driver package and type: a. rpm -i dri-Intel-3.4.3006-20051209.i386.rpm (32 bit Distributions and Kernels) Note: The console prompt will reappear in a few moments 3. With 2.6 kernels it may be necessary to reboot for the changes to take effect. The installation procedure will tell you if this is necessary. ************************************************************ *3.c FINISHING UP (ALL PACKAGE TYPES) ************************************************************ 1. Run SuSE's own configurator called 'YAST' under System from SuSE application broswer menu a. Select the 'Hardware' icon b. Select the 'Graphics Card and Monitor' icon c. Select 'Grapihcs desktop environment'radio button d. Select 'Change' e. Under 'Desktop' select 'Graphics Card' f. Select 'Add new card' g. Under 'General' tab, select 'Intel' and then '945G' h. Accept all changes and exit 'YAST' 3. Log out of root or superuser 4. startx ************************************************************ * 5. UNINSTALLING THE SOFTWARE ************************************************************ rpm -e ************************************************************ * 6. INSTALLATION SWITCHES AVAILABLE ************************************************************ No installation switches are provided ************************************************************ * 7. Dual Head Configuration Options ************************************************************ These options can be added to the Device section to furthur configure dual head modes. Option "MonitorLayout" "anystr" Allow different monitor configurations. e.g. "CRT,LFP" will configure a CRT on Pipe A and an LFP on Pipe B. Regardless of the primary heads' pipe it is always configured as ", ". Additionally you can add different configurations such as "CRT+DFP,LFP" which would put a digital flat panel and a CRT on pipe A, and a local flat panel on pipe B. For single pipe configurations you can just specify the monitors types on Pipe A, such as "CRT+DFP" which will enable the CRT and DFP on Pipe A. Valid monitors are CRT, LFP, DFP, TV, CRT2, LFP2, DFP2, TV2 and NONE. NOTE: Some configurations of monitor types may fail, this depends on the Video BIOS and system configuration. Default: Not configured, and will use the current head's pipe and monitor. Option "Clone" "boolean" Enable Clone mode on alternate pipe. This will setup the second head as a complete mirror of the monitor attached to the primary pipe. NOTE: Video overlay functions will not work on the second head in this mode. If you require this, then use the MonitorLayout above and do (as an example) "CRT+DFP,NONE" to configure both a CRT and DFP on Pipe A to achieve local mirroring and disable the use of this option. Default: Clone mode on the alternate pipe is disabled. Option "CloneRefresh" "integer" When the Clone option is specified we can drive the second monitor at a different refresh rate than the primary. NOTE: This override will only work if the Clone head is a CRT. Default: 60. ************************************************************ * INTEL SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT * (Alpha / Beta, Single User) ************************************************************ IMPORTANT - READ BEFORE COPYING, INSTALLING OR USING.
