I don't think the system installation program gives *anyone* a working 
configuration.  At least, I've always had to tweak the XF86Config file 
myself.  That being said, the i810 works fine, once it is set up 
properly.  

To get you started, here's the relevant section from my XF86Config file:

Section "Device"
	# from config.new:
        ### Available Driver options are:-
        ### Values: <i>: integer, <f>: float, <bool>: "True"/"False",
        ### <string>: "String", <freq>: "<f> Hz/kHz/MHz"
        ### [arg]: arg optional
        #Option     "NoAccel"            	# [<bool>]
        #Option     "SWcursor"           	# [<bool>]
        #Option     "ColorKey"           	# <i>
        #Option     "CacheLines"         	# <i>
        #Option     "Dac6Bit"            	# [<bool>]
        #Option     "DRI"                	# [<bool>]
        #Option     "NoDDC"              	# [<bool>]
