Searching a tutor, for compillation of graphics-drivers from "intellinuxgraphics.org"

[skipidar]

Hello folks, my problem looks as follows:

- I have a Barebone (Shuttle X27D) which is running Debian "Lenny"
- Its chipset is : Intel® 945GC+ICH7 Express
- It has onboard graphics: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 (GMA950)

Debian has its own drivers for this graphics, which are working much slower than on Windows, and doesn't provide features as "sending PC to sleep, hibernate etc. "

Searching for drivers on the official Intel site i found a link, to intellinuxgraphics.org/2009Q3.html
Here some Graphic-Drivers are avaiable, which i couldn't compile / install 2 months ago, because I'm a Linux newby


Maybe some experienced Linux user would kindly guide me through the installation?

The link you posted mentions this...

This new release is not guaranteed to work well with Linux kernel < 2.6.30: bug#23786.

Compiling the newer driver might not be the best option.

However, we may be able to troubleshoot the problem.

Please, post the contents of /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Are you trying to use compiz or other window compositing?

Suspend is a different issue. Here is the info from the Debian Wiki: Suspend - Debian Wiki

You might consider trying other distros as well. Could be the right distro would make these problems moot.

For compiling software, you'll need to install the build tools first.

su -
apt-get install build-essential

And then this sticky has info on the basics of compiling software.

I do not have problems with my intel video card but changing the distro i do not see it is the solution!

I will try to compile the kernel, i have read howtos and once i add a message in the kernel to see it at booting, it was so long, i do not remember so i do not promise to do it quick, i need to remember, i have time to not see how to compile the kernel.

Well my video card works good but i want to try the intel video kernel, i want to test this driver.

In the official page seems to be under developement but it should run better than the general intel driver video given in my distro.
