I believe you will need the agpgart, intel-agp, drm and i915 (or
maybe i830) kernel modules loaded for the xorg i810 driver to work.

Okay, stupid question time again. :-)
Does the i810 driver for Xorg require any special kernel support?
Xorg launches and works (mostly) if I specify the "vesa" driver in
xorg.conf, but fails if I specify "i810":
(II) I810: Driver for Intel Integrated Graphics Chipsets: i810, i810-dc100,
i810e, i815, i830M, 845G, 852GM/855GM, 865G, 915G, E7221 (i915),
915GM, 945G, 945GM, 965G, 965G, 965Q, 946GZ
(II) Primary Device is: PCI 00:02:0
(WW) I810: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:0:2:1) found
(EE) No devices detected.
Fatal server error:
no screens found
I'm reasonably certain that the Xorg driver is built correctly (I see
all the relevant .so files), and I have verified that i810 is in the
fact the driver that Ubuntu is successfully using on the same
hardware.
I'm uncertain I can help but to confirm your findings. I also see
i810 in my kubuntu xorg.conf and could not launch X with such. In
addition, I also used "vesa" successfully. Perhaps you're more
dilligent as I've used vesa since compiling 7.2 without
incident. Things look fine on my box so I've simply run with what works.
