Configuring X on Potato r3 for an on-board Mercury(810) Display

[shyamk <shyamk@eth.net>]

I am having problem in
configuring X on Potato r3 for an on-board Mercury(810) Display.
I get only 8bpp while Win98 is crystal clear.I am sulking because
I want to shift completely to Debian , even the pictures.
As you can guess , the list of drivers does not show anything
proximate to Mercury or i810.
An autoprobe (I guess something like this takes place) ...
takes the chipset as Mercury ... but , things stay there.
I still get only 8 bpp even though I asked for 32 bpp and 800x680

As a result the pictures I view in qvwm have grains.

Could somebody please guide me .

Thanks in advance.
Shyam
