Hi,

Yep. Go to intel's site - http://support.intel.com, then to the
chipset/motherboard area. There you should find intel's XFCom (XFree86
compatible) SVGA server. Don't forget to get the I810_agpgart*.rpm file
too.
This agpgart is a kernel module to allow the X server to use more
than 1MB of video RAM. Note that the precompiled module will only work
with stock RH6.1 installation. If you have any other distro/kernel, you
need to get sources of the agpgart module and compile it for your kernel.
It works like charm, in all the bit depths - 8/15/16/24.
About the on board sound in i810 mobo. I haven't yet managed to
get it working. But it seems OSS-4front technologies has a driver for
this. Also ALSA project seems to have a driver for the i810. I haven't yet
tried them.
Hope this helps...
Regards,
Kedar.
PS - You can also get the X server stuff from precision insight's site.
Intel says they have submited the sources to the X server to XFree86, and
should be present in 3.3.6. Though I haven't checked it.
