I've had some experience with the i810, I'm a newbie!
I did as you did with the new Xserver and agpgart.o
module from Intel. I never got it to work with the new
7.0 kernel, the module kept complaining about the kernel
not being the 2.2 version. I'm running Mdk. 6.1 right now
and it works great (2.2.13) verses the (2.2.14) kernel in the
7.0 version. One of the gurus over on the [expert] mailing
list said that the new "Cooker" kernel fixed this problem. I
haven't had a chance to go through that yet. I ordered a
"new" old video card the other night, (Matrox Mystique) it's
an old 2MB card that seems to satisfy both Windoze and
Linux. I bought a "real" modem,a "real" video card, I guess
a "real" audio card is next! So this is not much help but
it is at least my experience with that hardware.
