i810 dont work

I have intel extreeme graphics 2 on my lap top
and it is on the i915 chipset and uses i810 driver.

When i put i810 as the driver in xorg.cong i get a black screen (worked on ubuntu and on older arch versions)

lshwd
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corp.|852GM/852GME/855GM/855GME Chipset Graphics Controller (i810)

I am guessing that the problem lies in
a) xorg
b) kernel (:P)

Any experience? (since i already figured out my wireless problem I can recompile kernel for both)
Is it to do with xorg? (i do not use 7 from testing, i use xorg 11R6.8.2-6)

Re: i810 dont work

I have a i810, too. And I'm using this xorg.conf:

Of course you should adjust your keyboard, mouse and resolution settings. Maybe you can just cut&paste the "gfx" part. If you want to use  GLX/DRI for better OpenGL performance you should rebuild your kernel with DRI support for your graphic card (i810).
