The Snap 3.1.8 documentation lists the Intel 845G as supported, but does not
show the 845G/GV like is shown in the 915G/GV documentation.

I'm investigating a replacement industrial SBC board which has the 845GV chip
on it and is reported to be able to handle both the conventional video output
as well as Flat Panel output via a daughter board plug in option. I'm not
interested in the Flat Panel output as the Rose KVM system I use has to be used
with older service bench use in analog mode.

Is it unreasonable to believe that the Snap 3.1.8 would not work in the analog
mode with this chipset?

Thanks!

Hi Mike

I have no idea what the difference is between a 845g and a 845GV but I
think your worst case scenario is that it will only work in VBE (VESA)
"fallback" mode ie unaccelerated.

I think you are on a "suck it and see" :-)

I'd say odds for success are very high. The 845 series was released quite some before Scitech quit. I don't remember what Snap version is on it, but eCS 1.1+ on http://www.intel.com/design/motherbd/va/index.htm works fine.
Boards with the 845 chipset are limited to 400 FSB and DDR1.
