Comment (by ithamar):
pcidatabase.com lists the (on-board) VGA as:
{{{
Chip Number: 65416
Chip Description: Internal Graphics Device [810/815 chipset AGP]
Notes: fully featured Solano chipset, device 2
}}}
which suggest is it a i810/i815 chipset, which, as far as I can see from
the intel_extreme driver code, not supported at the moment. Since the VESA
isn't found in a usable state either, this means the app_server does not
find _any_ working video card, and it could very well bomb out on that....
There's very little to do in that case. If you would try BeOS on this
machine, it would probably go grayscale on you, using its support for
plain VGA support.
I can second the suggestion to try another VGA card, I suspect that will
be the quickest way to get it to work, as, if no developer has access to
this hardware, and motivation to support this relatively old incarnation
of the intel_extreme chipset, it will probably not happen any time soon.
The X11 drivers do support the i81x chipsets from Intel, and that's why
Linux does work on this computer.
