Looks like you've got everything, from a glance.

You'll need to edit the above if you're using a non-US keyboard.
E.g:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
Option "XkbModel" "pc102"
Option "XkbLayout" "gb"
EndSection
If you tell us which country your keyboard is for, we could provide
more help.
I think you want:
Option "XkbModel" "pc101"
for a laptop.

Bad news. i810 doesn't support your graphics chip yet and you have to use
crappy old vesa.

Try again with your changed xorg.conf and post back here any errors.
