Yes circa 2007, I have two Hewit-Packard HP Compaq dc5100, SFF(PW187ET).

Rock solid machines that I continue to use every day, as I speak
to you now :)

The problem driver is the Intel i915, its been around for a long time,
there are probably a lot of them out there somewheres.


The error message is:

xf86EnableIOPorts: failed to set
IOPL for I/O (Operation not permitted) Require OpenGL version 2.1 or later. Fatal server error. AddScreen/screen/init failed for driver.



Thanks for all your efforts, Grml is so cool.
