(and the preferred solution) :) I'm not sure, but you migth be referencing a thread I did start. I was using such video card on an Compaq iPaq (desktop). It really is not that difficult to make it work, just RTFM make it. That is not the problem. The problem is that the chip is buggy and seems like X developers did not find how to workaround it 100%. My X kept crashing twice or more a day and then I found the final solution: another machine with another video card. But make it work and test anyway, perhaps you success using it without crashes, must test. Look for its docs (locate i810) on your filesystem and follow it.
