Thanks!
You shouldn't need to compile anything, that distro should ship with at least the 'i810' driver, which will handle that chipset. The newer 'intel' driver will also work well with that chipset, but doesn't really offer any advantage under normal usage.
810 driver don't work, when I try use it whith Linux AS4, Th XWindow crashs.
There is not only some warning,but some error, makefile can't continue.
Thanks!
Here is the log from xwindow

I think I see both problems now, your Xorg installation is just really old. I don't think the new driver is going to build on a installation of Xorg that is 3 years old. I believe that was also before support was added for the 945GM.
Any chance you can upgrade to a distro that isn't from 2005? That would likely solve the problem with a lot less effort. I think you would have to upgrade Xorg to make that card work in your current installation, which is no small task.
