Funny you should mention i810. I installed it but deborphan indicated it was, well, orphaned. I'm really frustrated now. 22 months of development and they STILL can't get it right.

Yes.  I am thinking that etch used the i810 driver and lenny uses the
intel graphics  driver.  You can use  aptitude from the command  line to
wipe the  xorg and x11 related files and reinstall using etch. I  use
synaptic to  lock the  versions to keep them from being updated and run
sid.   I even tried  the experimental 2:2.6.1-1
<http://packages.debian.org/source/experimental/xserver-xorg-video-intel>
with no luck. From the deb package search page I notice there is another
version waiting to  be packaged.
http://packages.qa.debian.org/x/xserver-xorg-video-intel.html
I even started to  try compiling it from souce but a newer version of a
lib was missing from debian.
One  big problem is with  my setup the 3d performance is terrible but
that machine is used for a server and audio video on my desk and it
works  fine for that.

So, what are you going to do?  I take it you can't use a system that's going to fail at any given time.  There's not even a bug report filed, and if one is filed, how long would it be to get a fix?  It's been almost two months.  I can't tolerate this any more.  I'm thinking of the U-word.
