i have 945gm chipset that works fine. so i presume 915gm might work as 
well. what does 'disappear altogether' mean? you are not able to start 
X? what are the error messages?

btw, you don't have to reinstall debian to change the device driver in 
xorg - dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg should be fine.

what are the contents of /var/log/Xorg.0.log? (just the relevant parts). 
i810 driver should work fine with this.
also posting you xorg.conf together with lspci and lsmod output would help.
