The current i810 driver doesnt behave very well for me - blank screens,
not being able to run an external monitor correctly and the like. The
last one that did is x11-drivers/xf86-video-i810-1.7.4 (a good reason
for the modular xorg builds!)
Also make sure you are using resolutions that are covered by both your
monitor(s) and the card bios - they all have to agree or it falls apart
(fiddling them with i915-resolution didnt work), despite trying to
ignore EDID and DDC. The highest common resolution I have is 1024x768.
For my Sony:
Section "Device"
Identifier "i915"
Driver "i810"
VideoRam 32768
Option "DPMS" "On"
Option "DDC" "Off"
Option "IgnoreEDID" "true"
Option "MonitorLayout" "CRT,LFP"
Option "Clone" "true"
Option "CloneRefresh" "60"
#Option "NoAccel"
BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
#Option "ForceBIOS" "1366x768=1280x1024"
Screen 0
