X on intel i810

[joelman at world.std.com (Joel Gwynn)]

Thanks.  I'm running potato (2.2.6?), and I did look on the intel site for
the latest drivers; the one I'm using is the latest.  Where would I find
newer ones?  Or are you telling me that if I upgrade my dist to something
later, the support will be native?
