The i810 chipset is the "winmodem's" of video cards.  It is not vesa compli=
ant,
and has no dedicated memory of its own.  Instead, it "borrows" memory from =
your
system's ram (more like "robs", since it doesn't give it back).

Nonetheless, the latest images that I've built have i810 framebuffer suppor=
t. =20
You can enable the i810 frame buffer using modprobe+fbset on a booted lnx-b=
bc=20
image.
