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, but still didn
't
get me accelerated [OpenGL] since it probably wants a
newer version
of [XOrg] installed
. I got
the following message
in /var/log/
Xorg..log:
-<verbatim>
-(EE) I810(): [dri] I830DRIScreenInit failed because of a version mismatch.
-[dri]
libdri version is 4.1.0 bug
version 5..x is needed.
-[dri] Disabling DRI.
-</verbatim>
+"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].)
+The graphics card lets you use "Xinerama" (dual head) mode so you can have an extra wide desktop that stretches over two monitors.
+See our [i915-xorg.conf] page. (This might possibly require the updated i810/i915 support from above, I didn't test this with the vesa driver).
!! BlueTooth
The laptop has built-in BlueTooth. It appears to be attached to the [USB] internal bus, so make sure your kernel has CONFIG_BT_HCIUSB support. The kernel that came with Ubuntu 5.04 had this.
