I have a system that has Tomato Motherboard with onboard AGP based on
Intel 810 chipset and it uses the system RAM for video memory. The reason
that you don't get good resolution is because the X server is unable to
find the video RAM. A kernel module along with a suitable X server will do
the trick. You can download the required files from Intel's support site :

http://support.intel.com/support/graphics/intel810/linuxsoftware.htm

As for the sound support, as it was not high on my priority list, I
haven't tried anything yet. I do plan to try OSS or ALSA soon.
