1) check the video allocation for your card in BIOS. i had 1mb there and it didn't allow me to use any reasonable modes. for me it was also impossible to select more than 8mb of memory (which worked fine for 1024x768@24bpp, though)
2) dmesg reported ~8mb of stolen memory, but it seems to be fine3) to get dri working i installed a patch that allocates more memory for the graphics. also, i had to tell the xserver to use more memory (16megs were needed). unfortunately i don't remember where i got the patch (it was a standalone program). maybe, it isn't needed and you can just assign higher value to VideoRam without it? i really don't know.
so to summarize, the following works with my xorg setup
Section "Device"
Identifier "i845G"
Driver "i810"
BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
VideoRam 16384
EndSection
with dri - hw acceleration etc... i think i also tried i830 and i845
modules, but i think the result was the same...
