mmh, if i remember correctly my notebook has a gfx chip of the 810 family (845?). I works fine and i hesitate to change that with an (very long overdue update).

i845GM is more likely. I don't recall exactly since it's so long ago, but I don't think there was a mobile variant with the i810 gfx core. i845 is two generations newer than the i810 - the graphics core has changed a lot. There is KMS support for i845 - not so for i810. i845GM hardware was a lot faster already. Heck, my phone has a faster processor than the i810 box I had - and it's a lot quieter as well and consumes lot less power. Cheers, Egbert.

Maybe because you are the last one who possesses this hardware? There is very little we can do to help you here. All our i810 hardware we owned has died meanwhile. You may open at ticket on bugs.freedesktop.org and pester Intel about this. Your mileage may vary though as Intel may not have this hardware available for bug verification either. I'm afraid that once you own hardware that's not mainstream any more you are pretty much on your own - and you are most likely the only one who still cares about i810. So why don't you investigate this yourself and develop a fix? I'd be happy to review this - sorry I won't be able to test it, though. Otherwise - since you verified that the driver is broken and I'm positive that nobody else (except you?) will care for it any more - I should be able to safely drop it from openSUSE.

there a more general failure on other gfxchips I just haven't run into yet? Is the 810 supposed to be running a different driver than intel post-13.1/1.14.x?

Sorry, I cannot answer this. It's too long since I've looked at this driver.
