For the record, and for anyone who is struggling with this chipset, I have i830MG working nicely on a Vaio R600HMPD. All that was required is:
1) Compile a (vanilla) 2.4.19 kernel. Install. 2) Download and compile the XFree86 CVS trunk. Install. I then had the problem that the XServer could not find libfontconfig.so.1. I've solved that by copying all of the modules from the exports directory into /usr/X11R6/lib. Could anyone confirm if that was wise? Similarly, for DRI support: I've compiled the i830 DRI driver in the XFree86 source tree. I'm slightly confused as to whether this is an addition to the kernel or a part of XFree86 (I'm sure that I'm seeing this in simplistic terms - please enlighten me). Anyway, my feeling is that an appropriate place to put the installed driver would be /lib/modules/2.4.19/... with the i810 driver, but perhaps I have misunderstood what it is.
