I have a Compaq laptop with an Intel 965GM which works fine with other linux variants, but is not recognized by SL6  (I previously had a SL5 running on this machine).  The only way I can install SL6 is to use the safe mode VESA driver.<br>
<br>However, I now wish to install the 965 (intel) driver but cannot get it to recognize it.  I have seen references to the 915resolution program apparently designed to deal with screen resolution issues with this display drivers, but I cannot even use that unless the intel driver is installed.<br>
<br>X -configure generates an xorg.conf file but that does not work either (cannot find a screen when I restart X).<br><br>I am almost certain this is not related to SL6, but can anyone point me in the right direction on this?  I have 6 other machines running great and it annoys me that I cannot get it working on this 4 year old laptop.  Could I possibly use an xorg.conf file generated for this machine by another linux system (e.g. debian) and bootstrap it that way, perhaps changing the name of the device driver if necessary?<br>
<br>Thanks for any ideas.  I feel like an idiot on this.<br><br>Victor<br>
