I work at a university and we're develpoing a Knoppix remaster which we've given out to some students to test. We've got one student with a Dell Inspiron 510m (bought last summer) and we just can't get the graphics to work. It uses integrated Intel graphics 82852/82855 GM/GME. This is correctly recognised when Knoppix is booting, and it tries to use the i810 module, which would seem to be sensible. However, when Knoppix tries to start the X server, we get:

[drm:drm_init] *ERROR* Cannot initialise the agpgart module
..
Retrying with Server XFree86(vesa)
Retrying with Server XFree86(fbdev)
Error: No suitable X-Server found for you card


I've tried starting with "failsafe", "knoppix26", "fb800x600" etc. but it still doesn't work. Our remaster is based on Knoppix 3.4 but I've tried with an unaltered Knoppix 3.6, and 3.7 and still get the same result. Any ideas why it isn't working even though it correctly identifies the graphics chipset???

many thanks...
