Driver      "i810"

does not drive the video chip in that machine (it might be the correct
one, though; if so, the version of i810_drv.o in XFree86 4.2.1 is too
old for your hardware).

You can probably do OK to begin with if you comment

VideoRam    16384

and change

Driver      "i810"

to

Driver      "vesa"


Does this unit have onboard video?

If so and if it has an Intel video chip, XFree86 4.3 will probably fix
the problem (upgrade the GNU/Linux installation), or you might have to
settle with "vesa" driver for now.

If it has an AGP card, what card is it (/sbin/lspci -v)?
