I found a "solution" in https://bugs.freedesktop.org//show_bug.cgi?id=5443

Animacide, could you try the following:

sudo apt-get build-dep xorg-server
sudo apt-get install fakeroot
apt-get source xorg-server

and then, in the file hw/xfree86/common/xf86Bus.c, find the call to "ValidatePci();" and comment it out? it should be around line 2491.

Recompile the package with "dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot" from within the xorg-server-directory (this should take a while) and install the resulting packages.

Then try again if it works - for me, X works now, with the i810-driver.
