The i810 driver works with my Intel 815 AGP ... but the sound
chip is another problem.
Here is a snippet from my /etc/XF86Config:

Driver "i810"
VendorName "Unknown"
BoardName "Unknown"
EndSection
Section "Device"

Driver "i810"
VideoRam 16384
Option "NoDDC" "True"
EndSection
Section "Screen"

Monitor "Primary Monitor"
DefaultColorDepth 8
SubSection "Display"

Of course, you can adjust the amount of VideoRam and tune
other optional settings as you want. I've got 256MB of
SDRAM but am only using 16384K as a first cut.
Let us know if this gets things working!
