i810 with modesetting won't start.

[Tim]

Hey everyone,
I've recently been trying to use the modesetting branch of the i810 driver,
from git.  I have a ViewSonic monitor that supports 1440x900; that's what I
need to use.  My video card is an Intel 82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV.  I've been
reccomended the modesetting driver after 915resolution failed...

With much work, I finally got the driver to compile with autogen.sh, make,
and make install.  However, upon restarting my PC and trying to run X with
the newly compiled driver, I get:

"Failed to allocate framebuffer.  Is your VideoRAM set too low?
Fatal servererror: AddScreen/ScreenInit failed for driver 0"

I left VideoRam, in my xorg.conf, blank originally, but then tried
256--neither worked.  My xorg.conf is attached. (Note that I may have left
the driver as "vesa" in the .conf; I switched to vesa so I could write this
message... but nevertheless I HAVE been trying to use the driver "i810").

What's going on, has anyone else experienced these problems, how can I fix
it, etc.

Thanks!
