Intel 845 support is in CVS. i am successfully using X with i845 board. however, i810 module will not work as expected. If you need 1024x768 resolution, then you'll need X from cvs, but for 800x600 you can try "vesa" drivers instead of "i810". i believe that would work for you. you may also need to increase the video memory in your bios to 8 MB. Intel site has some info on it http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/intel845g/linux.htm vivek ================================================ To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe in subject header.
