http://lists.freedesktop.org/pipermail/xorg/2005-June/008272.html suggests it all works with newer versions of various packages, so hopefully it will just work in the next release of Ubuntu.
For now, use the "vesa" graphics driver. Otherwise, if you really want to use the i810 driver, you can download a newer snapshot of the driver from http://dri.freedesktop.org/snapshots/. I used the
-"i915-20050718-linux.i386" which at least got X working with the i810 driver. You'll also need the "common-20050718-linux.i386" to get newer versions of Xorg's libdrm.a and GL modules.

(If you install the driver but don't install the "common" package, you'll get an error in your Xorg..log file like "libdri version is 4.1.0 but version 5..x is needed")
.
But at least it looks like this will all work out of the box in Ubuntu 5.10 aka "Breezy Badger".
(The difficulty in supporting this chip is described in an [xorg thread|http://lists.freedesktop.org/pipermail/xorg/2005-March/007151.html].)
