Hye to all i required these two drivers which have been listed below
plz if anyone have those drivers plz let me know or u could mail those drivers utkarsh_rawat@rediffmail.com.
You already have those drivers.
The i946GZ chipset uses the i810 driver in your kernel.
The audio drivers would be AC97 and intel-hda, also in your kernel.
I take it you have trouble with video and sound?
Show us the output of:
lspci (for audio and video controllers - copy and paste)
cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf (the device section about video)
Hi
The problem what iam facing is regarding graphic is resolution which is set to only 640X480.
& regarding sound iam not able to hear anything.I believe we require drivers to install which i have mentioned above
The command which u have said to execute .It says : lsmod | grep i915 or lsmod | grep i810
grep: or: No such file or directory
grep: lsmod: No such file or directory
Let me be clear: the command is lsmod | grep i915, if this gives nothing then try lsmod | grep i810 ... claro?
Which distro do you have?

resolution ... is set to only 640X480
... this is not uncommon. Need to see cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Put it in "code" tags. Likely cause: you need to change something in that file - either the mode or the refresh.

... also not uncommon. Enter alsamixer in a terminal and make sure sound is not muted.

... as mentioned above: you already have the correct drivers.
If this were Windows, you would have a point. It is tricky, when everything is closed source, to tell when you have the exact drivers for your HW+installation. Odd or erratic behavior is often a symptom of not having quite the correct binaries.
Not so with open source - the drivers are too well documented.
dear simon
I gave this command lsmod|grep i915
i915 21697 2
drm 67029 3 i915
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
When i gave this command lsmod|grep i810
it did nothing
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
# Xorg configuration created by system-config-display
