Hi guys, someone over in the kubuntuforums sent me an xorg.conf using the intel driver rather than the i810, and I've done some experimentation with that, as well as my working KDE 3.5 xorg.conf, and made *some* progress. Basically, I now have a working system with KDE 4.1 at 1024x768, BUT only at 16bpp. I can only assume that KDE 4.1 requires DRI, because having done some research, I find the Intel driver doesn't support DRI on the i815 at 24bpp, only 16bpp and below. An excerpt from the man pa...

So, having not gotten any useful feedback here, I decided to try recovery mode and reset my X11 settings completely. Bizarrely, this is working fine, EXCEPT I'm now back to the 800x600 display size that I had to 'tweak' xorg.conf to get around in the first place. The 'working' (but not really) xorg.conf is attached. Please - any help is greatly appreciated - now I've actually *SEEN* kde4, I more than ever want to run it permanently, but there's no way I can do that at this dumb reduced resolutio...

Quoted from "nicolaary" It could be helpful if you also add here your xorg.conf ;) Hi, I've attached my xorg.conf (as xorg.conf.txt) to the original post. Hope somebody can now help, as I really would love to try KDE4.1! -PJC

[attach]index.php?page=Attachment&attachmentID=1021[/attach]Hi guys, Please note, this is a cross-posting from the Hardware forum - I just saw the Graphics forum, and maybe it's more appropriate here. I did a quick search here, and have found nothing. I've been running KDE3 within Hardy Heron Ubuntu for some time. I had initial problems getting it to correctly detect that my laptop (an old Sony Vaio PCG-R505JSP had 1024x768 at 24bpp capability, but with some searching found a solution to that. J...

Quoted from "SteveMcQwark" Go to settings a disable smileys for the message. Either that, or put the text in a code block Oops - done. Just goes to show I should read my own post after it's submitted! Paul.

Hi guys, I did a quick search here, and have found nothing. I've been running KDE3 within Hardy Heron Ubuntu for some time. I had initial problems getting it to correctly detect that my laptop (an old Sony Vaio PCG-R505JSP had 1024x768 at 24bpp capability, but with some searching found a solution to that. Just today, I decided to switch to KDE4.1, having read some of the rave reviews. Unfortunately, KDE4.1 crashes on login, an returns to the login kdm prompt. KDE3 is still running just fine (I'm...
