Intel 815 Video Chipset

[Craig Preston]

I would replace the video card but the machine only has a half height
slot, and I don't have a spare half height card, so If I can get the
inbuilt 815 working properly, would be good.

The machine is fully updated. The Option "noaccel" didn't make any
difference and I have removed it from the config file again.

If you are fully updated to the latest rpms for FC4, X should be fairly
decent. I run FC4 on a computer with 1280x1024 resolution. I use 24
depth which works great for 2-D applications.  The Option "NoAccel"
option was needed for a refresh problem with the driver awhile back.
(FC3 era, I believe). You will probably do better without having
"NoAccel" added to xorg.conf
