I have similar experience on CURRENT. My problems are related to DRI recent
changes in CURRENT and are not specific to wich driver i use: intel or i810.
(both drivers works fine if DRI is disabled in xorg.confm except that intel
have strange bad bug when switching vtys)

i810 driver is obsolete but it should work with your card, i810 is marked as
broken because it does not build with last libdrm. (and probably will
not work at
all with newer Xorg server ....)
Currently, you can, if you want, downgrade to older libdrm, and i180 will build
(just remove line with BROKEN= .... from its Makefile).
