I just downloaded i915-20060403-linux.i386.tar.bz2 and installed it and 
it works replacing "vesa" driver with "i810", thanks alot! I setup xorg 
with external monitor using the Xinerama option. But it seems that 3D 
acceleration is not working:

# glxinfo | grep rendering
direct rendering: No

is that because of the Xinerama option or do I have to enable something 
in my xorg.conf to enable direct rendering?
