RE: Intel 815 Video Chipset

Couldn't get it working, however I was able to source an old half height
tnt card which works fine. I imagine Intel chipsets would be quite
common and am surprised they don't work.

Thanks for all the suggestions.

What settings for video memory are available in BIOS? I have my card set
for 64MB. I believe there is another setting related to video memory
which is set for 1MB.

As a reference to what may be a cause for your problem. I have another
system which has an Intel 865G that worked in Microsoft but not in
Linux. It was a buggy BIOS for a Dell computer. After upgrading the BIOS
to A04, it works great for that system with an Intel card. It could be
BIOS, settings in BIOS that are limiting your higher resolution
settings. (This system is set for 8MB for the comparable 815 that has
1MB tops and 256MB for the comparable 64MB the 815  can be set for.)

Just a few ideas, hopefully one will lead to a fix for you.

Jim
