Hi List, me again. Just wondering is there anybody around who could point me in the right direction? I'm suffering from 82845G/GL chipset and suffering badly. I do will to make experiment, compile experimental drivers, participate in debugging, etc., but I need some guidance, at least at the start. I'm quite fit with C/C++ programming, but have a little experience with both X and device driver development, so I cannot (re)write the i810 driver myself, sorry. Is there anybody who is in charge of i810 driver development, who could give me a hint on what's wrong and where to start?
