Get the one from testing, 7.0.1.  But what you need is 
media-libs/mesa; mesa-progs is just glxinfo/glxgears.

Get the newest one, as there's much development in the intel driver.

The man page of i810 says only NoAccel and DRI exist, and both 
default to "use it", so your settings don't change anything.

No, it should auto-detect which of those drivers it needs.  It's 
just that your lib is too old for the newer G33,
