After installing the 'xserver-xorg-video-i810' (on testing/unstable) or
not (on stable), you'll need to change your config file. The
easiest (probably) way to do this on Debian is a 'dpkg-reconfigure
xserver-xorg' (on testing/unstable) or 'dpkg-reconfigure
xserver-xfree86' (on stable) and choose the defaults for most things,
except the graphics drivers, where you would choose it manually and
scroll to where it says 'i810'.

I've also never used that card, so I don't know if acceleration will be
set up for it.
