The current i810 driver doesnt behave very well for me - blank screens, |
| 2 |
not being able to run an external monitor correctly and the like. The |
| 3 |
last one that did is x11-drivers/xf86-video-i810-1.7.4 (a good reason |
| 4 |
for the modular xorg builds!) |

Also make sure you are using resolutions that are covered by both your |
| 7 |
monitor(s) and the card bios - they all have to agree or it falls apart |
| 8 |
(fiddling them with i915-resolution didnt work), despite trying to |
| 9 |
ignore EDID and DDC. The highest common resolution I have is 1024x768. |
