Linux X.Org driver
This chip is supported by the 'i810' driver as part of the X.Org distribution
For DRI-Support, you may have to install the latest Drivers from DRI Snapshot you need following files:
common-<CurrentVersion>-linux.i386.tar.bz2
i915-<CurrentVersion>-linux.tar.bz2
Extract both in the same Directory and run install.sh
After that restart your X-Server and enjoy OpenGL-Support ;-)
At least on a T43, you also want to add acpi_sleep=s3_bios to the kernel command line (edit your LILO or GRUB configuration file to do that), in order to make sure that Xorg continues to work after a suspend/resume cycle.
