openSUSE 11.1 and Intel graphics chip

[Dave]

I recently installed openSUSE 11.1 on a Dell Latitude X200 laptop.  This 
laptop uses the 82830 (i830M) Intel graphics chip.  Prior to installing SuSE I 
verified that this graphics chip is supported with numerous individuals having 
installed earlier versions of Linux on this laptop.  No xserver problems had 
been reported in these posts.

I have been unable to start the xserver on this laptop.  I have been working 
with numerous people on the openSUSE mailing list to try and resolve this 
issue.  The general consensus is that the intel_drv.so appears to be broken in 
this distribution with several other people having difficulties with this 
driver on other systems.  We finally gave up and it was suggested that I move 
on to the hardware gurus at this site.

Is there a problem with this driver in this xorg release?  If so how can I get 
it working?  I am willing to try any suggestions to make this happen.  I have 
attached the Xorg.0.log file which ends in a fatal server error - lockup.

Thanks,

Dave
