On installation of RH6.1 out of the box, two different symptoms of graphics problems appear. 1. default CDROM boot enters graphical install automatically. However, there is a repeating vertical bar across the screen, and images are very fuzzy. Graphical install is unusable. So, boot using text mode. 2. Install in text mode is fine until probing video device. Finds Cirrus 5480 normally. However, testing configuration reveals OK video but mouse is a large stippled rectangle approx 10x the size of a normal mouse. Clicking buttons do not appear to work. This problem only appeared on L440GX+ with Intel P/N BOXL440GXC. The C designates it can support 700 and 733MHz P-III with 133MHz FSB. I doubt this is related though. It looks like maybe they also snuck in a rev of the Cirrus chip or of another video component causing these subtle errors. The retail version of this board has a green+blue box as opposed to the purple+blue box the older, working L440GX+ comes in. We have installed lots of L440GX+ boards and thisproblem tracks repeatedly to the rev in motherboard described above.
what resolution and color depth are you trying to run at?
Actually, Intel uses Precision Insight (www.precisioninsight.com) to handle all their driver development. You should probably be going through there for further updates on the situation. We don't currently do any X hardware programming directly in house. This may be fixed in a future version via fixes in XFree86 itself, but we can't fix it here, we don't have the resources.
