17. Intel

3.3.6:

Support (accelerated) for the Intel i740 is provided by the XF86_SVGA server with the i740 driver, and for the Intel i810 with the i810 driver. The i810 is supported only on Linux, and requires the agpgart.o kernel module in order to use modes that require more than 1MB of video memory.

4.2.0:

Support (accelerated) for the Intel i740 is provided by the "i740" driver, and support for the Intel i810 (including i810-dc100 and i810e), i815, and i830 is provided by the "i810" driver. The "i810" driver is currently supported only on Linux and FreeBSD (4.1 and later), and requires AGP GART kernel support.

Summary:

The i740 and and original i810 are supported in both versions, but the i810 is supported only on Linux/x86 and recent FreeBSD/i386 platforms at present. Support for later versions of the i810 chipset, such as the i815, exists only in 4.2.0.
