Oh, sorry, Onur and I were talking about installing drivers for a Nvidia
GeForceII GTS (agp) with an i815 mobo. We always got errors and could not
get them installed. But now with agpgart support in the kernel for the i815
mobo, we were hoping for success.
I wish you luck with the dialpad thing. :)
