Hi,

I'm doing my first linux install, on an Acer TravelMate 530, and 
everything
went well until configuring XFree86.

I've tried specifying i810 drivers and just plain old vga drivers and 
when I
try to launch xinit I always get the "no screens" error.

Try "startx" instead of "xinit". Also, run "lspci" to make sure the 
video chipset is i810.

I've downloaded drivers from intel, but the install for them fails 
because
it can't find the headers for the bf2.4 kernel.

Which indicates you are using the bf2.4 kernel; is that correct? This 
kernel should have support for i810; just "modprobe i810". However, if 
your chipset is a newer variant of the i810 (lspci is your friend), you 
might need an even newer kernel.
