• Intel I865G video driver “i810” or “vesa” works. (dri depends on i865 support built into the kernel)
• intructions for installing the i810 driver from intel http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/linux/graphics.htm
• mouse button emulation, ..

cdrecord / gcombust / k3b (seems to work)

• kernel 2.6.0-test2 from unstable
• ALC650 supports ac97, chipset is via8233 , controller is intel onboard multimedia thing ( Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp. 82801EB AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02) )
• module → snd_intel8x0
• confused?

• 2004.08.07
  • burning dvds will crash the box,. this calls for a new kernel!
  • removed scsi/emulation support (hopefully) completly ,.
  • no preempt
• 2004.08.03
  • changed to a 2.6.6 kernel, with usb support
  • i810 in x11, with kernel options for dri (hint [*] not [M]) see kernel config [here]
• 2003.11.11
  • i've switched back to a 2.4 kernel to get the intel video card driver working
  • this has killed the /dev/input/mice device. so x is looking at /dev/psaux for now. this means usb mice don't work.
  • the intel x driver (i810) (look in /root/dripkg) is loading now, but we still don't get acceleration. yay?
• 2004.06.16
  • new kernel (2.6.6). ..
  • get usb to behave with modprobe uhci-hcd or modprobe ehci-hcd for USB-2
