I have a similar card, the 855GM and I was using the xf86-video-i810 package for a while without any problems, but after a recent update there was no way to get Direct Rendering working. I switched back to using the kernel modules and it started working correctly. Remember, if you use the xf86-video-i810 package that you have to rebuild after every kernel rebuild and sometimes you'll also have to re-emerge the x11-drm package as well. Also, a mesa upgrade had broken my direct rendering and a downgrade fixed it. Another problem I had was leaving the Direct Rendering Manager option selected in the kernel config, but I had the xf86-video-i810 package installed, and that doesn't work as far as I know because of the different versions of agpgart. There are a ton of howtos available for the Intel cards, I'd recommend trying one at a time until you get it working. A good command line for a quick check is "glx-info | grep direct" Good Luck, Zack Grafton -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
