Re: i810 video and Debian 3.0
hi ya evan
if after all those kernel checking didnt solve your
x11 problem... than you would need to:
a. install the silly agp drivers
I810Gtt-0.2-4.src.rpm
b. install the silly X server for the onboard SVGA i810 chipset
XFCom_i810-1.2-3.i386.rpm
c. config your XF86Config
(antique) x11-i810 howto stuff...

and you're all set
