intel 82845 problems

im having problems with my gfx card, whenever i try to switch to 1280x1024 resolution, it restarts X after about 15 seconds.  i figured maybe it was my gfx drivers, and this is what happens when i try to load them manually:

[root@Darkstar ~]# modprobe i915
WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/sound, it will be ignored in a future release.

FATAL: Error inserting i915 (/lib/modules/2.6.31-ARCH/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915.ko): No such device

any ideas why it wont let me load i915?

Did you load intel_agp before i915?

Re: intel 82845 problems

yeah, and agpgart.  still the same results.  the problem is, i dont think i915 is the right driver.  correct me if im wrong, but shouldn't my card be using the i810 driver?  i915 is the driver that X autoselects, and i believe it falls back to vesa, but not sure.  here is my ~/.xsession-error file, in case it has any hints.

Re: intel 82845 problems

and on a side note, what happened to xf86-video-intel-legacy?  i think the driver i need might actually be in that....
