One small bit of warning (as I struggled with a very similar problem with the
same chipset & an Intel mboard for the last few days) this chipset is not
/specifically/ supported by certain DRI kernel modules at this time.

I managed to kludge together a solution for the case where the i815 is AGP by
passing “agp-try-unsupported=1” to the agpgart module when loaded and by
ensuring bus mastering was on.

If your situation seems the same (i815 onboard AGP on an Intel mboard), and
want more info, feel free to contact me off-list.On Wednesday 17 October 2001 4:41, czenkus at itsgames.com wrote:

Are you using dga videodriver, so you have to be root.
