Re: Driver for Intel 82845G

Hi Sudheer,

The support for the driver in redhat 8.0 and mandrake 9.0 is limited,
though it will be almost fully supported by xfree 4.3 (as i understood 
from the xfree website), however for now you can download the xfree 
from the cvs tree and compile it, it works very well for me.

regards
Zaher
