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.
