Poking around google I found this line:
go into the bios under Advanced > Video Configuration > Frame Buffer Size and
change it to 8mb since it defaults to 1mb.
I've been in BIOS and recall seeing it at 8M but I'll go back a verify...
and this link:
http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/CS-010512.htm
According to the above link it would help to load the agpgart.o module so, I
think I need to have my lts.conf to be:
XSERVER = i810
X_VIDEORAM = 8192
X_MODE_0 = 800x600
MODULE_01 = agpgart.o
I choose 8M for the video ram simply beacuse that's how much the card borrows
from system ram. I also choose 800x600 just as a starting point.
