If you installed in expert mode and selected ANY resolution other than 16-bit
color depth, not only was acceleration broken by default, BUT ALSO the
statement
load. "glx"
is not included in the file /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
As a result, you have no accelerartion.
Acceleration works only in 16-bit color.
Also 667MHz sounds like a Celeron clock rate. Remember that Intel cripples
all Celerons to run at a 66MHz front side bus rate, unless you are into
overclocking.
Anyway, expert mode, XFree-4.01 and 16-bit color depth is best chance for the
i810. I have a Pentium III 733 running off the i810e with full acceleration
here and it still drags--the i810Chipset must have other virtues than speed.
