This is some very new hardware, isn't it? All 'unknown devices'. I have
never seen something like this before. Anyway, in a couple of months, it
will probably say some sensible things.
I've looked up some info, and a Intel Extreme2 graphics chip is embedded
on Intel 865G, 865GV and 855GM chipsets, which (maybe apart from the
865GV) are supported by the 'i810' driver in XFree86 4.3.0.
This means that you probably won't be able to run stable. Either a)
upgrade to unstable (sid), or b) add the following lines to your
/etc/apt/sources.list
# XFree86 4.3.0 backport for Woody by Daniel Stone
deb http://people.debian.org/~mmagallo/packages/xfree86/i386/ ./
where I'm assuming that you have installed Debian on a regular PC.
If you are just testing some things, I recommend upgrading to unstable.
If you _really_ want to run stable, you can always try and find
backports later.

PS: I CC'ed to the list, in case someone wants to correct me or add some
