Request:

You are using a motherboard with Intels i815 Chipset which includes a graphics chip. You want to use this chip to display the graphical user interface.

Procedure:

At

ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.0/xsrv3/xsvga.rpm

you'll find a new xsvga-package, containing a newer driver.

This driver works only with XFree86 3.3.6 - not with version 4.0!

Install and configure the driver using the following commands:

rpm -Uhv xsvga.rpm
sax -s svga
Then start SaX to configure the graphical interface.

If problems regarding the functionality of this driver occur, please contact Intel directly, because they have written the driver.
