XFree86 4.0.2

[Brian Kelsay]

You would be better off using a separate video card on a motherboard w/ the
i810 or i815 chipset.  The onboard video is sort of basic AGP video.  And
terrible at that.  All reviews of the onboard video compared to low end AGP
video cards showed the i810 getting its ass whooped, horribly.  That and
sharing your RAM w/ the video is bad.  Standard SDRAM is much slower than
the video RAM on video cards.  If you don't believe this go to
www.arstechnica.com and look for reviews of the chipset.

Gene,
Try XF86Setup or xf86config.  I tried upgrading to 4.0.2 last night because
it
claims to support my video card, which of course I can't get it to work,
something about AddScreen/ScreenInit failed...I don't really remember but
all
I can say is stay away from the Intel i810 chipset, it sucks!
