The link posted by David Moberg to a glibc i810 kdrive server, which I 
think Lee got and used, is not working for me.  Does anyone have this
driver?

His link is:

A web search brought me later XF86 versions that had a long list of 
unfamiliar looking dependencies such as libxdmcp0 and libxau0 and libz1.

Our only computer that would take a 1.0GHz Intel cpu has onboard i810 and 
no AGP slot.  The PCI Rendition video card (that worked perfectly in 
another computer which has i810 onboard) gives odd error messages with 
Xvesa and also turns highlighted text invisible in CMOS setup.  Xvesa 
works with a PCI ATI card but we have Win98 on the same computer and 
cannot find the right ATI driver, despite downloading some monstrosity 
that should include all RAGE drivers for all versions of Windows.  The 
temporary solution is to use onboard i810 with Win98 (4MB driver worked) 
and switch to PCI card in BIOS to use linux with the ATI card but my 
partner does not like doing this.

The i180 is billed at 1280 res but Windows 98 only runs it to 1024.
It appears to use at least 4MB RAM with XP.   DOS or linux with SVGA 
server only gets 1MB of onboard RAM.  You need agpgart.o or kernel 
compiled for AGP support to get more RAM.  If it were my computer I would 
not mix Win98 and linux on it but my partner is playing with a Palm OS 
collection and wants to learn with Windows as well as using the pilot 
software I compiled for linux (which works much faster and more simply for 
updates/backups and program installation).
