This is how I enabled the i810 driver on my 915GM. First, you need to setup properly 915resolution for the correct resolution. To do so, change in the /etc/sysconfig editor module of YaST (in the system section) the following variables
VIDEOBIOS_PATCH=yes
VIDEOBIOS_PARAMETERS=3c 1280 768
(in my case, I wanted 1280x768 so replace with what you want) 3c can be any mode when running 915resolution that you don't need. Save and restart the system so that the patching takes place. After this, as root in the text console (CTRL+ALT+F1)
1. go to runlevel 3 by
init 3
2. run SaX2 and force the i810 driver
SaX2 -r -m 0=i810
3. inside SaX2, save the configuration WITHOUT testing it. I don't know why this happens, but I used to get a black screen.
4. return to runlevel 5 by
init 5
You should have X running with i810 visibly faster.
Let us know how it went for you.

After I go through all of these steps, how do I log back into KDE?
