Thanks! -- /\ DarkLord \/ Doesn't the i810 chipset have a video out port? or was that the 810e? Does it work under linux? 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.
