[ale] i810 chipset and DRI

At last Thursday's ALE Central meeting, during switchboard, I asked about
getting DRI with my Intel i810 chipset. I couldn't run tuxracer acceptably,
and it would complain about not having DRI. I found tha solution and thought
I'd post it since that is a pretty common (I was going to say "popular", but
that has the wrong connotations) chipset.
I found the answer during a google search. It turns out that i810 works best
in 16 bit graphics. I changed the default bit depth in
my /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file, restarted X, and bingo! Now I can show my
kids the joys of sliding on your belly and eating herring.
Peace and joy,
Michael
