I have a Dell Optiplex SX280 with an Intel chipset and have this in my 
xorg.conf:

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "i915"
        Driver          "i810"
        BusID           "PCI:0:2:0"
        VideoRam        32768
        Option          "UseFBDev"              "true"
EndSection

You may need to manually set the amount of memory to get X to recognize 
it.

Also, check your BIOS settings. On this (and my previous workstation, an 
Optiplex SX260) it was necessary to go into the BIOS and change the 
video RAM setting from 1 meg to 8 meg.  The Windows drivers don't need 
this (I got 1280 x 1024  X 32 bit) in XP even with the BIOS reporting 1 
meg of video RAM.

HTH,
