Re: i810 on asus

hi tomas

easiest way to get X11 working on the asus mboard
with onboard svga ( i assume )

http://www.Linux-1U.net/MotherBoard/Intel.X11.Patches/
	( go to the original intel site for the files too )

	get the agp driver
	I810Gtt-0.2-4.src.rpm

	get the X server
	XFCom_i810-1.2-3.i386.rpm

http://www.Linux-1U.net/MotherBoard/Intel.X11.Patches/Intel.X11.patch.debian.txt

if all that works... it should be about 5 min to get X11 working...
	- than you might also have to install gnome/kde if you like those
	window managers
