What I did on my Toshiba laptop to make it work was to get i915-20060403-linux.i386.tar.bz2 from http://dri.freedesktop.org/snapshots/. Make sure you only install that file, and not the common-20060403-linux.i386.tar.bz2 file, or you will break things. (I ended up with a blank screen and had to get rid of the files from common-20060403-linux.i386.tar.bz2.) You then pick the i810 driver. It gives you much better video then using the VESA driver. You are installing a replacement i810 and an i915 module. Now if I can just get DMA working on the DVD drive, life will be good. (hdparm returns an error when I try and set it.)
