Here's another thread from 8 years ago: <https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/15ps6v/getting_3d_support_on_intel_845g/> Every search result I find says that this chipset is just *terrible*, especially under Linux. Even when it was brand new, it was cheap rubbish, for bottom-of-the-line machines. At some point, hardware simply becomes obsolete, and you'll have to accept this. You're free to continue searching, but as I said before, you really need to get in touch with people who are experts in ancient Intel chipsets if you want any hope. Meanwhile, I also found: <https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/fb/intelfb.html> <https://manpages.debian.org/bullseye/xserver-xorg-video-intel/intel.4.en.html> <https://prahladyeri.wordpress.com/2012/07/15/intel-graphic-cards-issue/> <http://web.archive.org/web/20070322222045/http://www.xfree86.org/~dawes/845driver.html> Happy reading?
