i845GM is more likely. I don't recall exactly since it's so long
ago, but I don't think there was a mobile variant with the i810
gfx core.
i845 is two generations newer than the i810 - the graphics core
has changed a lot.
There is KMS support for i845 - not so for i810.
i845GM hardware was a lot faster already. Heck, my phone has a
faster processor than the i810 box I had - and it's a lot quieter
as well and consumes lot less power.
Cheers,
Egbert.
