I am just a user. I have no idea of what you are talking. All I do is use "X" (xorg-x11, version 6.8.1). kernel compiled without framebuffer support. Well it was. I got rid of kernel 2.6.9. Back to kernel 2.6.7. Dialup. Another two hours to download 2.6.9 again. Another few hours to recompile and test the kernel.
I am no programmer. What is drm? How does the i810 driver in xorg work? I have no idea.

An HP 7850 - various motherboards used ... this one has an e-machine motherboard. Bios has no controls for the video chip. Does FW82810E sound line the chipset? It is mentioned somewhere in the motherboard doc I found on some site (not HP's so it may or may not be correct).
