Intel has Linux drivers for i810 and i810e chipsets on its website (they
work with XFree 3.3.6). I used them to add support for the 810 to Mandrake
7.1. In the past, I have also had Red Hat 7.0 with XFree 4 on this machine
(took it off because I couldn't get the WordPerfect Office 2000 suite to
work properly, despite Corel's vague knowledge base). It worked great (HP
Pavilion 6735).

They also have drivers for the i815, although I believe that chipset is
already supported in both 3.3.6 and 4.x.
