Yeah, I have this card in my work computer.  I had to get the latest
snapshot of X 4.2.99.3 to get it to work.  The install's not exactly
painful, but I'd have much rather used a package native to my distro.

I can send the full XF86Config-4 if you like, but the crux of it is:

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Generic Video Card"
        Driver          "i810"
        BusID           "PCI:00:02:0"
EndSection

Oh yeah, and in the kernel config:

CONFIG_AGP=m
CONFIG_AGP_INTEL=y
CONFIG_AGP_I810=y
CONFIG_DRM=y
CONFIG_DRM_NEW=y
CONFIG_DRM_I830=m

However, I just did an lsmod and it seems those modules aren't loaded
anyway. :)

HTH,
Pete
