Have you installed XFree86-4? The i810 driver for this appears to
support i815 chipsets:

[...]
    DESCRIPTION
           i810  is  an  XFree86  driver for the Intel i810 family of
           graphics chipsets.  The driver supports depths 8,  15,  16
           and  24.  All visual types are supported in depth 8, other
           depths only support TrueColor.  The driver supports  hard-
           ware  accelerated  3D via the Direct Rendering Infrastruc-
           ture (DRI), but only in depth 16.

    SUPPORTED HARDWARE
           i810  supports  the  i810,  i810-DC100,  i810e  and   i815
           chipsets
[...]
 
You'll have to load the agp.ko module, as well as have the follwing
lines in /etc/X11/XF86Config once you installed XFree86-4.1.0:

    Section "Device"
        Identifier  "i810"
        Driver      "i810"
        VideoRam    16384
        Option      "NoDDC"
    EndSection

Cheers.
