DG965SS suse10.2 video

From Osnow

When installing openSuSE 10.2 my Intel DG965SS (with onboard X3000 video) did not detect properly. IT came up with 1280x1024 frame buffer driver. It was fast enough, but there was no 3D support at all! No lincity-ng, no glxgeeears, no Compiz or Beryl! This will not stand.

So it seems I have a few choices.

1. Get the stock i810 driver to recognise the card
2. upgrade to newer X11 which natively supports it as a i915 with benefits
3. install/compile the drivers from source

I am shooting for #1. This is my story...

In /etc/X11/xorg.conf, these sections represent my problem.:

  VendorName   "VESA"
EndSection

Section "DRI"
    Group      "video"
    Mode       0660
EndSection

My first change is to trick the server into seeing the i810.
