915resolution failure on 6.1

[Markus Hoenicka]

Hi all,

I've spent the last few days upgrading an MSI 260 (Centrino, 915GM,
1280x800 screen) laptop to FreeBSD 6.1 from 5.4, using a binary
upgrade for the system itself and the portupgrade tool for the
installed ports and packages. I had previously used the vesa driver
which still works ok, but rumours say Xorg 6.9 supports the 915GM
chipset by means of the i810 driver.

Googling told me I'd have to switch on agp support during booting,
load the dri module in my xorg.conf, and select the i810
driver. Google also told me that I'd have to use the 915resolution
tool to trick the BIOS into believing there is something like a
1280x800 resolution.

This is where the trouble starts. Running 915resolution as root simply
results in:

error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libc.so.6: ELF file OS
ABI invalid

The docs tell me that the tool is a Linux app that uses the Linux ABI,
and brandelf indeed reports it is a Linux binary. I have the Linux ABI
installed and it is properly initialized during startup. I don't have
any weird modifications in my library paths. Specifically,
LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not set.

What am I doing wrong?

regards,
Markus
