Intel I845 X config probs



Hi,

I am having a big time problem in configuring X for i845g chipset of
dell dimension 2350 that I bought recently. I have downloaded the
drivers on the intel site, made changes in the XF86Config-4and 
recompiled the kernel to support i845/810 chipset and tried the net.
Alas I have not been able to get it to work 

Another issue is that how to limit the memory used by the video card. I
didn't find the relevant option in the bios. I was told by the customer
service ppl at dell that I have 4mb card and remaining memory is drawn
from the ram. How much do i specify during a configuration


I hope someone would give me a clue or pointers to docs to get it
working.

I have attached the relevant files below.

thank you
regards
