I have a Tyan Tomcat 2054 motherboard which uses the Intel 810 chipset. Not sure if there is a specific driver that Linux has to support

I don't really keep up on Intel video chips (I've never seen two of a kind that work the same way), but for starters, check http://www.xfree86.org and http://cdb.suse.de/e/ for a general idea. I'm sure that if 810 support is not available yet, it's probably in the works for XF86 4.0.

You can also stick a cheap video card in it till Xfree supports it. Most motherboards disable onboard video when a external card is introduced into the system. Then when it's supported ..just take it out and reconfig X w/ Sax. ;) hope this helps. laters, -- ********************************** Ben Rosenberg mailto:dragula@primary.net ********************************** " A poisoned soul can never soar!" **********************************

That's what I was figuring. Didn't really feel like purchasing a cheap video card. Figured if I was going to buy one I might as well just get a good one : ) They don't seem to be too high in price anyways. Thanks for all of the information.
