Is this the i810 or i820 chipset? If so, what we had to do to get it
working with Red Hat Linux 6.2 was ...
1. Install the base system from CD.
2. Install the errata patches from redhat.com, particularly the updated
kernel packages.
3. Update LILO to boot the new kernel, if that didn't happen automatically.
4. Boot the new kernel.
5. Do an "insmod agpgart" to load the AGP Graphics Address Remapping Table
support module.
6. Use the SVGA server (XF86_SVGA).
Please note that step 5 (loading the module) *MUST* be done *BEFORE* trying
to start the X server, or you'll probably have to power-cycle the machine to
get it to work again. (Assuming it doesn't just lock up altogether.)
