RE: [Dri-devel] i815 (Solano) chipset graphics

[Sottek, M. J <mat...@in...>]

Leigh,
  i815 will have XFree86 3.3.x support very shortly. We will
be putting it up at support.intel.com. Since we don't directly
work on the Utah drivers I'm not sure if they will currently
work, but it shouldn't be too hard to port them. A Programmers
reference manual for the i815 will be available shortly as well
from developer.intel.com.
  XFree 4.0 support for i815 has been merged into the XFree86
tree and will be available to the general public with the
4.0.1 release.
  I can't give you actual performance numbers but quake is very
playable at 8x6.

 -Matt
