Gentoo and Ubuntu9.10 Xorg.0.log

Hello 

I decided to run gentoo on my old Pentium III based HP IPAQ Desktop. It has
xf86-video-intel ver. 2.99.917_p20180214. There is no possibility to run X in
1920x1080. Maximum is what I gained with tweaks of xorg.conf is 1600x900.

I recall I was using this machine with Ubuntu 9.10 with 1920x1080 just after
install without xorg.conf. 

What is important to mention this new intel driver tries to load wrong module
i915 instead i810. When I manually load i810 then i915 is not loaded. But this
has no impact on resolution.

Using or not i810fb also does not change anything. But what is important I was
able to setup 1920x1080 on console using this FB module.

I also manually copied all xorg related/intel binaries and libraries from
Ubuntu 9.10 to gentoo and was able to run 1920x1080. Mouse and keyboard was not
working because Ubuntu uses depreciated HAL. Anyway it confirms newer intel
driver has broken support for old i810/i815 GPUs.

Newer Ubuntu > 10 does not support this GPU anymore. Screen becomes black.

Is it possible to run this GPU on new intel driver with 1920x1080 resolution
with some kind of configuration tweak?

See attached Xorg.0.log from both systems.
