Looks like it did not get detected. It works in Gentoo with 2.6.21. Stay tuned for kernel options ;) | Doesn't work by default. You have to write in your /etc/rc.local {{{ modprobe piix }}} |

LiveCD Installation
SOLUTION for `/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off'
Feisty Fawn
Use alternate install CD -- no error at all, when using it: http://releases.ubuntu.com/feisty/ubuntu-7.04-alternate-i386.iso
Or, if you still want graphics-based install (sorry for you -- see below why), at the prompt after error enter:
(initramfs) modprobe piix (initramfs) exit
And continue booting from LiveCD.

No solution yet, try alternate CD as well, when one comes out.
Failed to start X
Feisty Fawn
The X will fail to start because of the new video card. * Use alternate installation CD http://releases.ubuntu.com/feisty/ubuntu-7.04-alternate-i386.iso

First we need to deal with `cannot access tty' problem.
Post-install
Intel X3100 Video
Custom-compiled kernel needed with /dev/agpgart support:
apt-get install linux-kernel build-essential libncurses5-dev kernel-package cd /usr/src tar --bzip2 -xvf linux-source-2.6.20.tar.bz2 ln -s linux-source-2.6.20 linux cd linux make menuconfig Linux Kernel Configuration: Device Drivers: Character devices: <*> /dev/agpgart (AGP Support) < > ALI chipset support < > ATI chipset support < > AMD Irongate, 761, and 762 chipset support < > AMD Opteron/Athlon64 on-CPU GART support <*> Intel 440LX/BX/GX, I8xx and E7x05 chipset support < > NVIDIA nForce/nForce2 chipset support <...>
make-kpkg ended with error for me
make-kpkg kernel_image kernel_headers
if it fails for you, use these commands:
make make install modules_install # point your /boot/grub/grub.conf to the new kernel
Download xserver-xorg-video-intel_2.1.0-1ubuntu1_i386.deb from http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=37549&d=1183829057 NOTE: you will need to login into ubuntuforums!
dpkg --force-all -i xserver-xorg-video-intel_2.1.0-1ubuntu1_i386.deb
Substitute /etc/X11/xorg.conf with correct driver string:
vim /etc/X11/xorg.conf Section "Device" Identifier "Video Card" Driver "intel" BusID "PCI:0:2:0" EndSection
Reboot your system, and you will get nice GNOME login screen (gdm).

Doesn't work by default. You have to write in your /etc/rc.local
modprobe piix
