It is strange that this card does not even work with the i810 driver. On 
the fredesk.org website, I got this excerpt.

# i810 driver updates

     *      Dualhead support (i830+)
     *      i915 support
     *      New 3D driver (i830+)


You might want to try one of the i915 drivers in the nightly builds 
directory. I have not tried these drivers out, but since the i810 driver 
does not work for you, maybe you could get the i915 driver working or 
your computers.
