If you installed in expert mode and selected ANY resolution other than 16-bit color depth, not only was acceleration broken by default, BUT ALSO the statement load."glx" is not included in the file /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 As a result, you have no accelerartion. Acceleration works only in 16-bit color. Also 667MHz sounds like a Celeron clock rate. Remember that Intel cripples all Celerons to run at a 66MHz front side bus rate, unless you are into overclocking. Anyway, expert mode, XFree-4.01 and 16-bit color depth is best chance for the i810. I have a Pentium III 733 running off the i810e with full acceleration here and it still drags--the i810Chipset must have other virtues than speed. Civileme

That's normal, external modems never show. I think that's because externals are attached to the serial port, and there's no detection of serial devices via the ports, at least not until they are initialized. Its NOT something to lose sleep over. Can't help with the vid acceleration--don't play games so haven't had the need to mess with it.

[newbie] V7.2 questions!
A friend of mine installed the download version of 7.2 on his Pentium machine with 64 megs of RAM and a i810 video setup. (its a 667mhz machine). Anyways, he has an external modem and no matter what we do, it does not show up under hardware configuration, even though its working fine. Also, I thought hardware acceleration was automatic with certain card/chipsets under 7.2. (including the i810). However, any games we play are dead slow... ;-( Any ideas? Thanks! -- /\ Dark>
