After searching the web I found the following to be correct for i810
cards:

In "/etc/X11/xorg.conf", under "Module" section, make sure to put the
following two lines:
        load	"glx"
        load	"dri"

Under the "DRI" section:
        Mode	"0666"

And under the "Device" section
        Driver	"i810"

If you need a reference, look at:
        http://www.ph.utexas.edu/~daneel/xorg.conf
(I found it via Google)

Once again, remove any NVIDIA packages you have (start Synaptic (from
System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager), and search for
nvidia, select any packages that show up and right-click and choose
"Mark for complete removal").


Tell us what you get (and sorry for being not so helpful as I don't have
any machines with Intel VGA card in it).
