Including the "915resolution" functionality is not a small difference. I have had more success using the "intel" driver, under Ubuntu, than the "i810" driver. For example, I have been able to switch between LCD monitors of different resolutions when using the "intel" driver, but not the "i810" driver. I do not have multiple monitors going simultaneously, but that is mostly due to a lack of time time to find and set the correct options, rather than bugs with the driver. As to your memory problem, I recall that the chipset in question shares video-RAM with main memory, like the Apple ][. It should automatically set how much RAM to use, but you can set it manually, by passing the "VideoRam" option to the device (see xorg.conf(5)) -- Michael JasonSmith
