I can now get FOG to boot to the unit without the video going crazy, I was even able to (as far as I know) pull an image from it. However, it does not want to push the image, freezing up about a third of the way through. I noticed that using this custom image, the other Acer’s (Veriton N281G/N282G) did the same thing while trying to have an image deployed to them.

I seem to recall a similiar problem regarding the network pull/push with the N281G/N282G when initially trying FOG, however updating the kernel to 3.3.3 fixed this. So obviously there’s a trigger in the 3.3.3 kernel that may fix the problem with the Veriton 2620.

This is a bit urgent as the people above me are basically looking to me to get this work, and the previous machines we used (Veriton N281G) are going End-of-Life…

EDIT:

Essentially what I am asking for is this:

[CODE]Kernel - 3.3.3 Core
FOG ID: 1049
Date: April 27, 2012
Version: 3.3.3
FOG Type: Core[/CODE]

with this trigger mentioned below:

Thank you for all of your help!

Sorry, no. Ended up abandoning the thin client in favor of tablets and Linux-based nettops.

Well, one problem appears out of the way.

I’ve successfully pulled an image from the device – Acer’s default Linux OS, “Linpus”.

I’m trying to deploy an image, Peppermint 3 with an 8GB partition. This image has deployed before on a different machine as well as VM’s. When I try to deploy it to the Acer VN2620G, I get to 28% before it freezes.

OK, mess up on my part. I reread Art’s post. It appears to be working now.

Thank You.

When I do:
[CODE]lsmod[/CODE]
under the video result is:
[CODE]video 9463 1 i915[/CODE]
I’m guessing that in the kernel config this would be included in the intel 8xx/9xx line.
One interesting notion, when I tried to compile the kernel the first time (using the kitchensink.config), the resulting bzimage was about 6MB less than the “official” 3.6.9 Core.

So far, trying what Art Mendoza suggested hasn’t helped. But maybe I didn’t do it right… Back to the drawing board.

What are the G++ tools I need?

This is the kernel “bzimage” from the update kernel page, yes? Or is that something else?

Can I grab the kernel from the fog machine itself? Where do I get it from?

To be honest, I don’t quite understand it. Do I mod the FOG kernel to do that?

[FONT=Times New Roman][COLOR=#000000]So. Here’s what Acer said the working system has. This leads me to think, perhaps it is a graphics driver problem. [/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman][COLOR=#000000]VN262G System Information
System Chipset: Intel NM10
Video Chipset: Intel Atom D400/D500 series on die graphic solution

Audio: Realtek ALC662-VD [/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman][COLOR=#000000]Unfortuntately, it does not appear that Intel has released a linux driver for either chipset or graphics card.[/COLOR][/FONT]

Finally got what appears to be a definative answer from Acer regarding drivers:

Still trying to figure this out. With no help from Acer. If both working and non-working models use the same graphics controller (still don’t know for sure due to Acer’s lousy documentation.) could the weird display problem be due to the general chipset on the motherboard?

So I’ve done some hunting. The integrated driver for the Acer Veriton 2620G is, according to my research, an Intel GMA 3150. Of course Acer doesn’t state this on their data sheet of the product. I had to go hunt down, comparing the Windows 7 driver file to a snippet I found on the internet. And of course, Acer doesn’t acknowledge that this particular specimen, came with Linux Linpus (not a good flavor of Linux, IMHO), only showing me the Windows 7/8 drivers.

Yet, hold on. The Veriton N281G, which DOES work on my FOG setup also, according to the Acer Datasheet – which is filled out more completely – also uses the Intel GMA 3150. The only differences as far as that goes, is one machine, the N2620G uses an HM70 Express model chipset, while the N281G uses an NM10 model chipset.

The trophies feature is pretty cool. Just wondering if there was a breakdown?

Thanks for the help, man. I appriciate it, as this is the first time I’ve done anything like this.

So about that kernel, do I follow the wiki walk through verbatim? Where does the 3.3.3 come in?

[quote=“chad-bisd, post: 10590, member: 18”]For me, it was removing the agpgart drivers and adding in the radeon drivers.[/quote]

But what if I needed both for different machines? Granted it’s a “what if” question. The majority of machines I use FOG on ([B]Acer Veriton N281G[/B]) seem to use the [B]Intel NM10 Express Chipset[/B] with the [B]Intel D425 integrated GFX core graphics solution[/B].

Currently trying to find the specs of the [B]Acer Veriton N2620G[/B] – machine in question.

Also, in reading through the walkthrough you mentioned: [url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Building_a_Custom_Kernel[/url] When it’s referring to the linux kernel, does it mean THE Linux kernel, or the 3.3.3 kernel in FOG.
For the drivers, I’m guessing I’d have to find the Linux drivers, no?
