I've got internet access just fine :)  Really, your issue shouldn't be
the lack of the i915 DRM.  If it is, then that's a bug.  The most useful
thing would probably be a backtrace, and I think a "#define
MakeDllModules YES" echo in xorg-server/scripts/configure is what you
need to get that (though I haven't tested it myself).
