I am using Debian with inoffical debs for Xfree86-4.3. If I replace the kernel 
drm modules by the ones included with that release, I get nice and working 3D 
acceleration, good enough to play quake3 at 640x480. I have a TP R31 MEG.

Check out http://www.xfree86.org/~alanh/ for the kernel module sources.

I think i830 support had it's first semi-stable release in X-4.3, even though 
it still crashes if I switch to text consoles...

Ciao,
