Re: Intel i830 chipset?

Look at http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~chak/linux/c400.html

Yes, its C400 specific, but it points to where the problem(s) with the 830
and Dell lie. 

Be warned, that non-DELL manufacturers experiences may not help you, given
what Dell did to the video bios, and Intels refusal to vary their product.
