	The i810 driver works with  my Intel 815 AGP ...  but the sound
	chip is another problem.

	Here is a snippet from my /etc/XF86Config:


Section "Device"  
     Identifier "Primary Card"
     Driver "i810"
     VendorName  "Unknown"
     BoardName   "Unknown"
EndSection
   
   
Section "Device"
    Identifier  "i815"
    Driver      "i810"
    VideoRam    16384
    Option      "NoDDC" "True"
EndSection
   
Section "Screen"
   Device          "Primary Card"
   Driver          "i810"
   Monitor         "Primary Monitor"
   DefaultColorDepth 8
   SubSection "Display"
      Depth        8
      Modes        "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
   EndSubSection
   SubSection "Display"
      Depth        15
      Modes        "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"

      Modes        "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
   EndSubSection

	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!
