The documentation does mention support of i810e boards, but 
in practice XFree86 3.3.6 (available with Potato) does not 
support the board - or rather I couldn't do it - even after 
adding the agpgart module. I tried configuring X using 
xf86config - the list of supported boards doesn't contain 
i810 - but no go. I finally managed to start X using 
generic VGA drivers, which displayed a rather crude X 
window.

I'd XFree86 4.0.2 binary with me, so installed it and upon 
starting X got the error message: 

  AddScreen/ScreenInit failed on device 0

What could be wrong? As a matter of fact I'd configured X 
succesfully on the same board, but using RedHat, while this 
is Debian Potato.

Finally I switched over to vesa drivers, and got good clear 
X.  If that didn't work, I was planning to follow Neale's 
advice and download those packs.
