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>]
#Option "XvMCSurfaces" # <i>
####-------end insertion ----------------------------
