RE: i815E and SiS630 video drivers

["Doughty, Matt" <DoughtyM@example.com>]

One question? Are you using XFree86 4.0 or 3.6? I know 3.6 doesn't work at all, but the
latest version 4.02 works fine for me.

My Intel 815E motherboard is an Aopen, MX3S.  I tried several configurations
with XF86Setup in Slackware 3.6.  Under a certain configuration, XFree86
successfully works but its graphics are shown so largely, for example, that
Netscape Navigator/Communicator is partially displayed.  (Its area is 1/6.)

I guess Intel 815E has the same integrated graphics chip as Intel 810.  (I
don't know in detail.)  The device driver for that itself hasn't been fully
supported yet, has it?  I wonder which i815E motherboard and what
configuration you chose.

intel 810 Graphics chip onboard, and it works fine.  I suspect you have a
simmilar situation since, to my knowledge, there isn't a i815E graphics
chip.
