Intel i810 Video Driver in Linux

[kevinthenerd]

I want to get Quake III working in Linux on an Intel i810. Can somebody tell me how to go about getting it to work in the DRI interface or get it working in some other method? I'd like to run it with 3D-Accelerated OpenGL, but SVGA would be fine too.

I would think all you'd need to do is build AGPGART and DRI support for it in the kernel, then open up /etc/X11/XF86Config and make sure it loads the DRI module and uses the i810 driver. Then just startx and see if glxgears works or not.

Can you break this down for a newbie, please?

Well, for starters, you could try posting in the operating systems forum... 😉

I posted that before looking for recommendations on a Linux distro. I decided to come here for help on specifics.
