The plain xorg 6.8.2 seems not be able to 
recognize the card (at least the mine).
Do you have used the patch :
http://apocalyptech.com/linux/nc6120/xorg-6.8.2-i810.patch
to compile it ?

I think there is a big confusion about this new module (i915).
I hope that someone (Eric ?:-) take care of all this iussue asap :-)

Happy new year to everyone ....
