I ran across this on my DV1000 HP laptop

lspci | grep 915GM

Output ....

0000:00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/PM/GMS/910GML Express 
Processor to DRAM Controller (rev 03)
0000:00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 
915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller (rev 03)
0000:00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML 
Express Graphics Controller (rev 03)


I can't remembe exactly what I did, but I was able to get the install 
completed. The xorg.conf file didn't detect the video chip and wrote out this 
which works, but isn't optimal.

Section "Device"
       Identifier      "Generic Video Card"
       Driver          "vesa"
       BusID           "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection

I believe the correct configuration is this....

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Intel Corporation Intel Default Card"
        Driver          "i810"
        Option          "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps"
        BusID           "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection

Overall, Dapper Drake is and **excellent** distribution. :)
