It turns out I was loading GLcore at the wrong time or something.
Anyway, this is fixed now.

Aha, kernel 2.6.19-rc1 has what I need.  Now I nearly have DRI working,
the remaining obstacle being a missing 965 DRI driver in Debian.

It seems the VideoRAM option is still being ignored, but now it's
allocating 64MB which is OK.  I'm still getting some warnings, are these
anything to worry about?

(WW) I810(0): xf86AllocateGARTMemory: allocation of 1 pages failed
(WW) I810(0): xf86AllocateGARTMemory: allocation of 4 pages failed
(WW) I810(0): xf86AllocateGARTMemory: allocation of 16 pages failed
(WW) I810(0): xf86AllocateGARTMemory: allocation of 8 pages failed
(WW) I810(0): xf86AllocateGARTMemory: allocation of 1024 pages failed
(WW) I810(0): xf86AllocateGARTMemory: allocation of 1024 pages failed
