Revision as of 23:58, 5 February 2007
Is it possible to connect a beamer (or external monitor) to the notebook, while the notebook is running, and then switch the output from the internal TFT to the external beamer or monitor using FN-F7 or by other means?
Any information about whether this chip supports DRI/hardware-accelerated GLX with free drivers or not?
Cheers :)
you need to install i810 driver from xorg7 version 1.5 or above. glxgears shows something around 600FPS. currently you can get from xorg cvs version 1.6 and get 1000FPS.
cheers
