I had a crash course with the i810 chipset and Mdk 6.1,
which I'm still using now after removing the Mdk 7.0.  The
basic steps are to download the two rpms from Intel.com
and the info packet on the install.  The first rpm is the new
Xserver and the second is a module called agpgart.o which
you will need to "rebuild" against the kernel version 2.2.13
in my case. Edit the xf86config file, make the appropiate sym
links and you may get video.  I tried for two weeks to get
Mdk 7.0 to work but the module won't recognize the new
mdk kernel (2.2.14 series).  I'm returning my Mdk 7.0 and
applying the $50+ toward a real video card!  Who knows
next year I may add audio to my machine.
