Hellow Shankar,
> Can u send me a brief description on what u had to do to get the i810
> working with X windows esp. taking the foll into consideration:
As told to you, the mother board i'm using is from Vintron with the Award
BIOS. It has a Intel 810C Chipset onboard AGP and Sound Interface. Being a
computer essembler, i've got chance to install another new system for one of
my customer and this time it is a similar mother board but from PROCOMP
B1W1B. It comes with both Socket 310 and Slot 1. The AGP Interface here is
Intel 810 GMCH 0 Set with 82810 & 82801 Chipset supporting upto 1600*1200
resolution.
> 4. Max depth/resolution supported
But since this board shares its video ram with primary memory, i haven't put
it over 800*640 resolution. This board is working fine and is a good value
for money (At least in India for Rs. 4400/=)
> 1. The url from where u d/l the Xserver and related stuff
Linux Mandrake auto detected my stuff - but to get some thing special, i've
downloaded the drivers from Intel's website from
http://support.intel.com/support/graphics/intel810/linuxsoftware.htm
> 2. The installation procedure for the intel Xserver
Installation is pretty simple. Just run the tar.gz file
> 3. A sample of XF86Config
I'll get this for you next time. Quiet busy right now
> 5. Any other quirks u faced.
None in particular - It worked asusual - simple and fastly.

Mandrake detected as Intel 810c sound but the manual said AC97 compatible.
However the intel drivers that i've downloaded has overwritten the older
ones.

By the way are you too much intrested in this Intellian stuff ?

But i still love Trident in Linux (for it has been in Linux and Unix circles
for a long time than any other display card vendor).SiS is my favourite for
Windows ( I still love watching Bond movies on my Windows Media Player for
Linix needs some more work in Multimedia circles)

How is Debian. I haven't seen it in action anywhere. Which version do you
work on. Intested to heat from you.
