Not exactly. The whole point of compiling the modules from XFree86 is
to get the ones for Your chipset - that is i830. So the modules You have
to copy to Your /lib/modules directory (and then load into kernel of
course) are (in order): i830.o, i830_drm.o and i830_drv.o.

That happens to me too. but You still have the XF86Config.new file in
Your directory - just add the modifications I describe below and You
should be ready to go.

I use the latest kernel (2.4.14, or even 2.4.15-pre4). One needs to
compile the AGP support (together with i830M chipset support), but NOT
the DRM support. It is all in Character Devices section.

I get this error too. Actually only the PCI:0:2:0 seems to be working.
It looks like the driver supports only one device at the time (although
it detects two...).

This should be fixed by adding the modelines I wrote about above.

Below is my XF86Config file, it works for me, although it is not very
clean (especially the FontPath will likely be different for You):
