I tried it on my Acer TM661LCI, without success. XWindow starts without any
error message and I can see the "trash bin" icon.
However, the "trash" icon is very big and the screen is flickering and is
fuzzy.
I tried with different resolutions -- no difference.

It might be necessary to modify the video bios with the vbios tool. Because it
is written in the driver's info file
( ftp://download.intel.com/design/intarch/SWSUP/IEGDLinux.htm ):

"Please be sure to download the Video BIOS as well."

Any ideas?

Bye,
Stefan
