Linux 2.6.23, in example, doesn't even report the 0x258A PCI id in include/linux/pci_ids.h... However, from Xorg's xf86-video-intel-2.1.1 driver I see that this kind of video chipset would be handled by the i810_driver.c, if the linux AGP driver would in turn handle it. Xorg's driver defines the following in common.h: #ifndef PCI_CHIP_E7221_G #define PCI_CHIP_E7221_G 0x258A /* Same as I915_G_BRIDGE */ #define PCI_CHIP_E7221_G_BRIDGE 0x2580 #endif I found this chipset in some Dell PowerEdge SC420 servers I manage, which are more or less two years old. Is there any reason why the E7221 chipset can't be handled by the fb, agp and (possibly) dri drivers from linux?
