I believe it was installed along with a boatload of other video drivers.
I first installed Dapper on here and am now up to Feisty and "assume"
(makes an ass of U and me), that it was upgraded along with the rest. I
started messing with Linux in about '99 or so but feel I am growing
dumber as Linux grows smarter. I would like to get this worked out so I
can play the OpenGL games and see the cool OpenGL screensavers. I dimly
remember running "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" to check that  very
thing after I had first installed Dapper here. I'm sure the i810 pkg is
here but I will check. Is there any other information I can provide to
help diagnose this?

Thanks
