 You forgot to mention which version of Red Hat and/or XFree86 you are 
using. Searching the web I found the following notes:

Intel 440MX, i810, i815 series
Dumb onboard sound drivers feeding either onboard or AMR (audio modem 
riser) codecs. These are supported from 2.2.16 onwards. 2.2.17 is 
recommended for best results. Features depend in part on the AMR or 
onboard codec. Be sure to get one supporting rate-adaption.

and

And I can confirm you that some configurations are catastrophic with 
the Intel i815 chipset. Just after installation, the servers were 
crashing every two or three hours, I solved that by deactivating the 
GLX extension and direct rendering (fortunately I don't need that). Now 
it crashes every three weeks, that's better, but yet to be improved! 
:o)
