Hi, With helpful pointers from the folks at Intel, I have the Intel 82845G/GL chip set running under Linux on a Dell Optiplex GX260. Here is approximately what I did. I started with a RedHat 7.3 system installed. Then I downloaded the 2.4.19 kernel from ftp.kernel.us.org and applied the patch-2.4.20-pre7 to that kernel. I compiled the kernel to include among other things, the i810 and i830 drivers. After getting the new kernel to run, I downloaded the latest XFree86 from its CVS repository. See the notes at: http://www.xfree86.org/cvs/#repository I checked out and built the xc tree. Installed that. I also installed libpng-1.2.4 and zlib-1.1.4. There were some minor compilation bugs in the redglass cursor part of the XFREE86 tree which I had to build manually. These errors surfaced when I did a make install in the xc tree. But after I had a solid build, I installed it and am currently running successfully with that combination. Use xf86config to load the drivers for the chip set. Hope this helps someone else.
