I've just uploaded my i815-x11.tgz archive which I use to bootstrap
machines around here. I've been running with it since November, and
it works fine.

(Ignore lkm/agpgart, it got in the archive sometime ago, I just never
took it out).

The archive is at:

	ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/agc/i815-x11.tgz

I prefer to install lkms into /lkm, so that, as long as I have a root
filesystem, I can load the lkm if I want.  Handy, sometimes, and old
habits die hard.

These two are in the archive I uploaded.

They've worked fine for me since November last year. I have it on 4 Compaq
Deskpro EN 200s.
