I'll assume you've read my cursory comment about this in xfree86.cf
(around line 487).  But that's not the whole story.  While I agree the
i810 driver is not particularly relevent to this architecture, I do feel
it is important that this driver at least compile cleanly (which it does
for me).  This, not so much as a measure of its portability, but as an aid
in eventually exorcising all architecture and OS concerns from the driver
API/ABI.

Besides, I see no complaint here about the other drivers that are in the
same boat (e.g. newport, i740, etc).  So, what problem did including i810
cause?

What does `prtconf -Ppv` say?  For that matter, anything interesting in
/var/log/XFree86.0.log?

Also, I'm curious as to which compiler you used.

Thanks.
