i have the Intel 82845G Graphics controller and i've been trying to install the linux drivers i downloaded. it didn't come with a readme.txt and got an error:

ERROR: Kernel modules did not compile

The DRI drivers can not be installed without the latest kernel modules.
Installation will be aborted. See the dri.log file for information on
what went wrong.

i've been reading around and its been question whether this chipset is supported by ubuntu or not but no clear answer.

here is what the dri.log file had:

Hi,

Can you please tell us the driver that you downloaded and where you got it from. There might be some directions there that can help us.

Cheers!
