Hi,

I think the main reason there is no i810 or i815 support is that the
driver's developer (axeld) doesn't have that hardware!

If you are playing around with the driver (And have the Haiku source code,
compiling it, etc), you could add your device IDs to the supported devices
list[0] and see what happens.

IIRC it'd be easier to add i810/i815 support then the latest chipsets
(i9xx). (The driver doesn't currently work correctly with the i9xx range).

Erm, i hope that helps.
