Your i945 board might have some Video RAM (not sure), but far less than
256MB for sure. See below.

Ok, that's probably it. So you have 256MB of main memory that is used by
the video driver as if it was video memory.

Yes (and xserver-xorg-video-i810 is actually useless now since it only
exists to depend/bring the new -intel package).

Done. Nothing confidential in there :) And I don't see anything bad in
your config and log (apart from "AddARGBGLXVisuals" which looks useless,
and one allocation failure warning which seemed recovered fine).
A new update of the driver (2:2.0.0-2, based on current upstream git
snapshot) is currently pending in incoming (incoming.debian.org) and
will enter experimental tonight. You might want to give it a try, in
case it helps.
