hi ya rahul
your best bet is to d/l and install xfree-4.x ( XF86_SVGA or XFree86 )
- turn on i810/i815 and AGPGART kernel options too
if you are unlucky nd trying to make xfree-3.x.x with the onboard i810
chipset you're gonna have gazillion problems ( nothing to do with debian)
.... the XFCom_i810 works with older i810 chipsets..
for downloading and line-line ype instructions... not that many of um
best i can do for ya ... line by line typing ...
