Yeah, this doesn't have an i915 line, which should be something like:
[drm] Initialized i915 1.6.0 20060119 on minor 0
so that's one problem.  Looks like you're running 2.6.21ish, that may not have 
the PCI IDs for the 965 chip you have.

And this can't find your /dev/dri/card0 as you said.

You could try DRM from git, which should bind to your device, or a more recent 
kernel.
