Hi jayjwa. Thanks for the update. I am not sure what I should change.
"the main thing for me was I needed to load two modules into the
kernel even before X11 started up, namely i830.o and agpgart." I have no idea how to do this. The fbset -xfree86 gave me back:

open dev/fb0: no such device.
Do I simply add this:
Before I modprobe'd the extra modules (both of them) and added the "Video
Ram"

Thanks and sorry for my lack of knowledge.

Hmmm...sounds strangly familiar to the trouble I just had with this
driver. I wrote in about it but got no answers. I ended up (finally)
getting it going with alot of effort. I'm not such an expert on it, but I
can tell you what I did on my machine and maybe that'll help out.
First, the main thing for me was I needed to load two modules into the kernel even before X11 started up, namely i830.o and agpgart.o (Note i830
now, and not i810, that comes later in the XFR86Config file.) I think
there's a document on the i810 and even a man page. See if you have a
page, man i810 . Finished, the config looks like this:
## --------------------------------------------------
## XFree86 Configuration
##
## Configuration file for X Window XFree86 4.4.0
## using i810 card driver

Before I modprobe'd the extra modules (both of them) and added the "Video
Ram" Option to the device section , I got the same error. No matter what I
did it couldn't make use of the screens. It seemed to load, but was just
black. For your monitor, maybe you could do fbset -xfree86 to get the
parameters. It says in the docs that you usually don't need to do that,
but it's not hurt on my config. The number "431000" was from the kernel's
log output after inserting the agpgart.o module. Without those two
modules, the kernel kinda seemed like it was in the dark as to what to do
with this chipset.
HTH,
jayjwa
