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.

What error did you get with i810? I have a laptop with a 945GM chipset, I have used the i810 driver without an issue.

There is no sense in doing things the hard way. There should be no need to compile a new driver when the one included should work.

Drm

Thanks!
Error is here:
/root/documentation/Linux/IEGD_Patches/IKM/val/drm/drmv00p0/drmP.h:744: error: ` DRM' declared as function returning a function

It seems DRM has some problems with the complier from RHEL4u5,
but I can't solve it.

@phydora
You misunderstood, the question is what error did you get when you tried to use i810 driver. Look into Xorg log.

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.
