i915, xinit: Xfree86 4.5 giving errors

["Atul Talesara" <atul.talesara@nevisnetworks.com>]

Hello folks,
	I'm trying HARD to get my X working on Debian Sarge
on Intel 915G mobo (i915 chipset). I've upgraded to kernel
2.6.11, which has support for i915 (i915.ko is indeed present
after kernel compilation). I checked out the XFree86 4.5
sources and managed to compile it (after AN effort). But
xinit just refuses to start and keeps throwing this error:

Fatal server error:

I know you might want to look at my XF86Config file, it's not
available with me right away. But I thought if someone already
has an insight into this problem might solve it without config
file details.
Something I've obviously goofed up??? BTW, google'ing for
'i915ModuleData' reveals nothing :-(

In case this helps ...
/var/log/XFree86.0.log claims error is spitted by:
XFree86 Version 4.3.0.1 (Debian 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 20040928112350
fabbione@fabbione.net)
In spite of the fact I 'make install' ed XFree86 4.5.

___I'm stumped___!!!
