Continuing problems with Xorg 7.3

I'm still trying to sort out my problems since I changed my old  
Gateway E-1400 from 6.3 to 7.0.  Everything worked fine under 6.3.  I  
decided however that I would do a clean install and overwrite the old  
partition.  Everything installed and seemed to work fine, until I  
tried to configure X.  Regardless of the settings, I cannot seem to  
get the image to lock.  Xorg reads all the equipment correctly with  
PCIscan.  I also reads the H and V setting on my SyncMaster 910T  
monitor correctly.

The graphics chip is the Intel 82810 dc-100.  Before it used the i810  
driver, though under 7.0 I also tried the "intel" and "vesa"  
drivers.  Still no luck.  The only error I notice in Xorg.0.log is  
the following:

drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0
drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such file or directory)
drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such file or directory)
drmOpenDevice: Open failed
[drm] failed to load kernel module "1810"
(EE) [drm] drmOpen failed.

There is no "dri" device in my /dev directory, but I don't know if  
that matters.  I've tried to comment out the "load dri" option, but  
no luck, it tries to load it anyway.  I also tried option NoDRI, but  
that doesn't seem to work either.  Anyone have any ideas, as I still  
am unable to run X?
