Xfree86
I have an HP Brio and can't figure out which server to install (SuSE Linux). Chipset is Intel 810, but don't know what card to tell the setup I have since it is onboard.

Re: Xfree86
Hi!
Perhaps this helps (http://www.exocore.com/linux/i810/i810-4.html#ss4.3):
Installing And Configuring The X server
1.Install the XFCom_i810 server:
rpm -ivh XFCom_i810-1.2-3.i386.rpm
2.Remove the old symlink:
rm /etc/X11/X
3.Change the X symbolic link to point to the new X server:
ln -sf /usr/X11R6/bin/XFCom_i810 /etc/X11/X
4.Adding The Entry In /etc/X11/XF86Config
The final step would be to add the "Device" and "Screen" entry in the X Windows configuration file /etc/X11/XF86Config
I have this in my XF86Config. Modify it to suit your requirements.
Section "Device"
Identifier "i810"
VideoRam 4096

5.Starting X Windows With The New Configuration
X -probeonly would let you debug any problems at this stage. So try it out.
X -probeonly
This should exit cleanly. Problems if any, could be traced back to XF86Config
And finally...
startx
"CTRL-ALT-KeyPadPlus" and "CTRL-ALT-KeyPadMinus" will rotate through the resolutions available at the current color depth.
NOTE: RHL 6.1 users should note that this symlink might revert back to /usr/bin/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA if you use Xconfigurator.

Re: Xfree86
You also want to keep in mind that Linux may have a hard time recognizing the full amount of RAM in the system. This can be a pain because the i810 video will use the system RAM as video RAM. After you've installed, run a "cat /proc/meminfo" (without the quotes of course) to make sure all of your system RAM is being reported. If it isn't, you may need to add a line in your lilo.conf specifying the amount of RAM you have. The format for this would be:
append="mem=128M"
Obviously you may not have 128 megs. Just adjust the value to fit your system. This can help tp alleviate a lot of xserver problems with the i810 chipset. . .
