Bug Description
I nuked the xorg.conf file on my macbook as a test.
Starting up X, I'm in 1024x768 instead of 1280x800. Why? It is using i810 instead of intel.
I uninstall the i810 driver. Now X complains "can't find i810 driver".
Something somewhere is presumably mapping my PCI ID to the string "i810" instead of "intel". :(

Both drivers will do the device, but the "Intel" one (should be) better. The i810 driver is not supported upstream any more.
For now, edit the xorg.conf to use the "intel" driver. I do agree that the default driver being picked is wrong.
