I am depressed......

This is frustrating....
What i have here is this,

SATA is fully documented open protocol, linux kernel has the driver
and yet a custom compiled driver is failing to detect my drive, HOW
RUDE!!!!!!!

Neways more on that later, if i care enough, for now i am stuck with dmaless PIO mode in ide emulation.

Now on to real frustrating part....
Both XFree and XOrg have i915 drivers, kernel is latest and has dri driver....

None of them work... i have in my hands three codes which basically do
the same thing on the same chipset as in my unit and yet none of these
are working,
i am going crazy and franatic over this, so much for being a linux person.
Neways i give up , i am now going to do it the old way the real way.
Let once again men be men, who write their own device drivers.

I am going to take the daunting task of writing a Directfb i915
driver, time to go underground for next few weeks......

See you then if i survive
