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)

lsmod | grep snd

lsmod | grep intel

.... and tell us about the problem.

So far so good...

try lsmod | grep i915 or lsmod | grep i810

But, what is the problem?

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?

Quote:
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.

Quote:
I am not able to hear anything
... also not uncommon. Enter alsamixer in a terminal and make sure sound is not muted.

Quote:
I believe we require drivers to install which I have mentioned above
... 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.

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

Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "single head configuration"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection

Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "i810"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
DefaultDepth 24

... presumably "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5"? Server version with a GUI added after perhaps?

You got it right - you need to edit that modeline:

su -c gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and add "1024x768" (or what resolution you want) to that mode line like this:
Code:
Depth 24
Modes "1024x768", "640x480"
EndSubSection
Restart X.

... sorry for making you print out xorg.conf twice, I got mixed up.

Hmmm... There doesn't seem to be a monitor entry, but you seem to get a screen OK.
We'll worry about that and your sound after.

Well ... become root then:

$ su -
[password]

# gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

(I think the entire command after the -c needed to be in quotes.)

Or use sudo:

$ sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

... whatever it takes, but get that file edited.
