Hi!

thanks for a quick answer. Ok, more detail:
> What hardware are you using (the i810 driver handles a range of chipsets)
lspci output:
...
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corp. 82845G/GL [Brookdale-G] Chipset 
Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01)
...

> and which version of vmware to you have?
I'm using a recent vmware version (3.2.0 build 2230)

> Finally, how is vmware informing
> you that there is no acceleration in DGA mode?
Vmware compains that it detected DGA support, but this support does not 
provide any acceleration and warns that the full-screen mode will be of low 
performance (which is indeed true, especially scrolling). I paste vmware log 
parts, which seem to refer somehow to the problem.

As far as I see it only says us "DGA acceleration not supported", which may 
mean whatever it means. However, it might mean that i810 driver does not set 
some kind of "acceleration-supported" in some king of "dga-capabilities" 
structure, which I believe must exist in the X API. I wonder if there is a 
code example or something to test that. Or this is not really needed when we 
know the chipset?

Max
