Well with that patch, we still get the same thing, but I suspect Eric
did more than I did with the chips.

Eric,
   I have the I830MG chipset in this laptop, and am willing to
experiment and get it working on -STABLE. 

   I currently get a X86 Illegal opcode right after the Gamma Correction
message in the logs (same as before applying your agp_i810.[ch] patch. 

   This is on a Fujitsu Lifebook C6651. 

What else do you need?
