If you are on Etch you will need xserver-xorg-video-i810. Run
"dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and choose the "i810" driver if it is
not selected already.
xserver-xorg-video-intel is the new driver for these cards from Lenny
onwards, and the xserver-xorg-video-i810 package has become a
transitional package which installs the other one in the newer branches.
When in doubt, something like "apt-cache search intel video" will help
you in such situations.
