Hi everybody,

I have a problem whch seems to be the same.

I have an old computer with an old computer with an Intel 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device, and the X server won't launch.

It tries and tries again, but my CRT screen won't turn on.

I have read all the comments and they seem to say that it has been fixed, but it still does not work for me in Hardy Alpha 4. It only works when I boot in safe graphic mode.

The only distribution that work without any problem (out of the box) for me is Mandriva 2008, and yes, 16bit depth is automatically forced, but everything works fine, compiz-fusion too.

Here is my xorg.conf file from Mandriva 2008.
