Finally saw hints to replace "nomodeset" with "i915,modeset=0" and i830 is now running.
I'd recommend "i915.modeset=0" be default for both i830 and i845 since there's been persistent disabling X failures over Lucid, Karmic, Jaunty, ... On Beta even ati Mobility 7500 failed which required "radeon.modeset=0". Three out of my four test pc's were disabled by Beta until these commands were put into /etc/default/grub. i830 wouldn't even boot in "recovery" mode; I did "ssh" from another pc to make the changes. Also there doesn't appear to be any way to communicate to us Beta users that there's been a change and "nomodeset" has been replaced by "i915.modeset=0", or if there was a concerted effort to tell us I missed it. Thanks to the Lucid forums (Yay!), I'm running again.
