Subject: Definite Linux support Intel i810 graphics

Definite Linux has been updated again, this time with support for Intel's
i810 graphics chipset as featured in many integrated graphics controllers.

The X Server can be found at:
http://www.definitesoftwar.com/XFCom/xfcom-i810-glibc2_1-1_0_0-rh60_i386.rpm

Note that this is an Intel supplied binary which should work with Definite
Linux, Red Hat Linux 6.x and Mandrake Linux 6.x. This RPM should also work
with SuSE Linux, Caldera Linux and other distributions.

Definite Software will be remastering our Applications CD to add this and
many other updates.

User of Intel i810 based systems should be aware that main system memory
is often used for the graphics chipset. If this is the case you need to
tell the kernel not to use that memory at boot time by specifying the
correct amount of memory available to the kernel (eg for a system with
64MB of memory of which 1MB should be used for graphics you would specify:
mem=63M at boot time - this can be set by LILO at boot time)
