Where do we go to get drivers for Intel chips? I have an older laptop, it has an Intel 82855graphics chip in it. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

The best - indeed only (that I know of) - Linux video drivers for Intel graphics chipsets are included with Fedora. These are the 2D (package xorg-x11-drv-i810) and 3D (parts of mesa-dri-drivers) drivers, plus kmods (part of kernel packages), from X.Org/DRI project.
Is there a specific problem that you need help with?

I'm not real sure. Things (programs-sometimes real snowy) don't load properly. Any suggestions?
