hello Mr. Janssen,
I too had the similar problem. I have a Intel 810 board. I've patched up my kernel from http://i810fb.sourceforge.net to include support for my video card. The frame buffer device works well. I too have similar error messages firing up the X-Server.
I reconfigured my XF86Config-4 file as per your instructions ( dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 ) and selected the i810 module.
But still I get the error message saying:
Fatal server error:
AddScreen/ScreenInit failed for driver 0
