Intel Extreme Graphics (82865G) Freeze

Hi folks.
I have an onboard Intel Extreme Graphics 2 (82865G) video card that
came with my Dell Dimension B110. Default xorg.conf generated from
Xorg --configure causes it to load X for a few seconds, the mouse
crosshairs wiggle, and then I get a hard freeze. (I can still ssh in
and shutdown -r now.)
Specs
- Latest GENTOO (clean install) using x11-xorg.
X Window System 6.8.2
Release Date: 9 February 2005
X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.8.2
Build Operating System: Linux 2.6.15-gentoo-r1 i686 [ELF]
Current Operating System: Linux localhost 2.6.15-gentoo-r1 #2 SMP
PREEMPT Sat Feb 18 14:23:22 EST 2006 i686
Build Date: 16 March 2006
Attached is xorg.conf.sug, which is more or less what Xorg -config suggestions.
Now, after some research and fiddling, I ended up getting things
working. From intel's website
(http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/linux/index.htm) I got a
download of XFree86 (I can't remember which version off hand), which I
downloaded, compiled, and installed. It worked! But it used the
"vesa" driver rather than the "i810" driver. (NB using the "vesa"
driver on the gentoo x11-xorg, i.e., the latest Xorg, caused
freezing.) Attached is the xorg.conf that Xorg -config generated
using the intel Xfree86. However, upon investigation it looks as if
all that intel's download did was give me a decemt i810_driv.o file.
So, I backed this up, re-emerged x11-xorg, and overwrote i810_drv.o
with Intel's. And it works, even though, as the attached xorg.conf
indicates, I'm still tell it to use the "vesa" chipset.
However, it doesn't work nicely. I have to set my DefaultDepth to 8.
If it is 16 or 24, X starts but the screen is blank and I have to ssh
in to restart the machine. (ALT CTL BACKSPACE doesn't work).
At this point I am fairly stumped. Does anyone else have this
chipset? Does anyone have any advice?
If you need more information, please let me know. Also, if this is
the WRONG list to send this sort of report to, please advise me as to
where I should report such errors.
