Ben, How did you specifically manifest the error from the i915 drm module? In an attempt to get higher resolutions out of my GMA X3000, I rebuilt drm from git, and mesa from the officially released 6.5.1, and I rebuilt my i810 module from git as well. I'm not getting any i915 module errors, and I successfully ran tuxracer and some other things with what certainly felt to be acceleration. I'm not sure which of these is responsible, but it seems to be working from the latest sources of drm, mesa, and the xorg i810 driver.

Unfortunately I'm still failing to get the resolution I want. I managed to get the modesetting branch of the i810 xorg driver to compile by adding some #defines to it, but now I get no video output at all, despite everything else thinking X is running. I can even log in. I just can't see it.
