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

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

For my Sony:
Section "Device"
    Identifier  "i915"
    Driver      "i810"
    VideoRam    32768
    Option      "DPMS"                  "On"
    Option      "DDC"                   "Off"
    Option      "IgnoreEDID"            "true"
    Option      "MonitorLayout"         "CRT,LFP"
    Option      "Clone"                 "true"
    Option      "CloneRefresh"          "60"
    #Option     "NoAccel"
    BusID       "PCI:0:2:0"
    #Option     "ForceBIOS" "1366x768=1280x1024"
    Screen      0
