Works pretty stable.
Newer i810 boards even have a BIOS that initializes the panellink interface
(digital LCD connection) so that panellink can be used with any videomode
(i.e. XFree then runs via panellink!). And even more there is 3D hardware
acceleration coming up in utah-glx.
So far I would say the i810 is better supported than many other video cards ;)

The ALSA driver is working pretty flawlessly now. The only problem seems to
be that not all possible codecs are supported. We once had a board where the
audio hardware itself was detected but the codec was not. All later models
worked just fine!
