I would grab them both. Note the dates and start work with the later
one, returning to the earlier one.
/guessing wildly
export CFLAGS=<your favourite recipe>
read the source comments noting any libraries you think are mentioned.
Then try
gcc -o i830.o i830.c
This will probably barf for lack of libraries or includes. Try for them
and add switches appropiately to the above line.
In the offchance that it compiles, cp to somewhere useful. Might I
suggest a subdir of /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/... drivers or something like
that.
Let your XF86Config or xorg.conf know it's there by inserting the
appropiate magic
Send us your report - We need a laugh :-P

Guesswork is when I don't know what _you're_ doing :-).
