I found that it 'just worked' for me.
I use vesafb-tng for frame buffer, the intel driver gave me too much grief for
not enough return (although I last tried it over a year ago).
For DRI I use the drm_i915 and agp_intel modules. I also have 915resolution
emerged, your need for that depends on whether your monitor has widescreen.
Here is my xorg.conf
