Hi Andrew

I fear the i815 will not work with XFree86-3.3.6, nor do most of these on
board graphics controllers.
Another problem is a lot of these chipsets use the system memory, so 8Mb
would need to be set aside in lilo to make the most of it.
As I see it, you have two options - Use a recommended garphics card :-
S3, Mach64, ATI Rage and RageII all work.
Alternatively, install XFree86-4.10 - But this has it's own can-o-worms with
the configuration files.

Regards, Paul.
