hi ya....
and it took me a while tooo...but...i finally got around to
installing/testing xfree-3.3.6 and run X11 with the onboard SVGA
controllers
asus super810 and supermicro 370sea and intel ca810eal
( running rh-6.2, suse-64.....slackware-7 has some fixed font problem 9 my
boo-boo someplace probably )
and since you guys have it running on debian...good..
I got the i810 patches to install from intel though....
and wrote up my normal quickie install notes
