I am new to Linux and have a Dell laptop with an Intel 815 graphics chip. Whilst I have managed to get just about everything working in the hardware department, hardware graphics acceleration eludes me. When I installed Red Hat I accepted the suggested Intel 815 graphics adaptor. It now seems that perhaps I should have said I had an 810 instead, since this driver is the one used in Linux (and Windows) for the 815. I have checked around the web and downloaded the software components from Intel but I still cannot get hardware 3d support. The instructions for building the agpgart.o module are complicated and I am not at all sure that my built version is correct. I have extensively edited my Xfree86.Config file and can now run at a variety of screen sizes and resolutions but my DRI log files- /var/??? (sorry, I forget the precise location) still state that “hardware rendering disabled”. Please please could someone either: Tell me how to change the graphics drivers using the red hat setup cds OR Tell me where to find alternative instructions on getting this card working (NOT at Linux on laptops or Intel) AND If at all possible, email me a working build of the agpgart.o module (if it is not on the red hat cd or precompiled elsewhere). Someone must have it working and it is less than 100k. This module is for a PIII chipset only. I would be very grateful

seems like you should recompile your kernel and include agp support built into the kernel....modules sometimes make trouble there..

Cheers Amin I have after much digging discovered that support for this particular card was accidentally left out of RH 7.3 when it was supposed to be included. This is why I was having such trouble. I am downloading a new kernel now!
