As Kevin said, the problem can reputedly be solved using Donald Becker's
Linux-native utilities for the 3C5X9 series.  Turn off PnP, and then set
the IRQ and I/O base address as required.  Make sure those are also
made available in the motherboard BIOS Setup program to "Legacy ISA
devices" or whatever it's called, there.

Yea, I tried the VESA driver but it doesn't seem to want to work,
it's kinda weird actually, when I run Xconfigurator, the test
comes up ok sometimes but when I try to load X it won't come
I read the intel page, I think I'll just throw this on the back burner
until intel bring out a driver for this.
