Wow, the html formatting made quite a mess of things. The top posting is not 
helping either.

Anyway, the i80 driver did not work for me at all for HD. Not just 'not good', 
just plain 'no go'. The intel driver works almost flawlessly on this slightly 
underpowered hardware.

To see supported options try 'man'.

   man i386
   man intel

to see the i810/intel manual pages.

Hope that helps.
