Article #28882: IDE Internal Error Solutions

Question

I receive an "IDE Internal Error" message when I attempt to do practically anything in the Kylix 2 IDE. How can I resolve this problem?

Answer

Change the driver used by XFree86 to 'fbdev' in the X configuration tool provided by your Linux distirbution.

This particular solution resolved the problem on a laptop system using Trident video chipset on Mandrake 8.0 and SUSE 8.0 distributions, but may work for other distributions and chipsets. 'fbdev' is a generic, unaccelerated video driver for framebuffer devices. Use of this driver may work-around problems with the stock video driver.

A more complete solution in this situation might be to update the XF86 drivers or possibly downgrade drivers to a more stable version.
