I have a intel 945GM graphics card, where and how should I download the driver for it?

You should check the Intel website. I'm sure you'll find something there. :)

I believe it's allready in the kernel, the i810 driver. It's for 945 chipsets and older ones.

but when I put i810 as driver in the xorg.conf file, and tried starx, it keeps telling me that it can't find the module and there's no driver. what should I do? Thanks

Have you configured the kernel with the i810 module?

Going from memory here, but wasn't i810 renamed to intel in Xorg's newer releases?

(Maybe I'm thinking of something else...)

Might be :) I haven't used intel chipset in a few years so not sure. Though it should be quite self-explanatory what module to choose in the display device section.
