It works fine for me. Bugs I do not know so far. BUT there is an issue if you 
like to run XFree and the i810fb in parallel (XFBDev on top of i810fb should 
work).This is not a bug, neither a feature! It is from my point of view an 
implementing problem of the agpgart stuff (no memory server). 

Details you can find under

I uploaded this file today and it contains some mail exchange about this 
matter. Unfortunately I have not the power to solve this.
