Two quick things about the I7K.
First, Steve Hsieh maintains an excellent page dedicated to setting up
Linux on the I7k.  It is especially useful for information about setting
up the X-server.  

I found that the current (January) release of Xfree works on the I7K in
vga mode.  So, that is an easy starting point.  Not a very useful
resolution but a easy check point to achieve.  You can use January Mach
server, but it results in strange results (not worth using).  So, I would
go from the stock VGA to one of Steve's solutions.

BTW The I7K has an ATI chip set and ATI is an Xfree sponsor, so a working
stock xfree solutions is probably not far behind.
