What could be the problem here? I'm using the i810 driver in xorg.conf

What shows
Code:
cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep dri
Did you update your kernel before ? Have you applied something from
DRI freedesktop?
Here is also a troubleshoot guide

I've got the same card and it works fine here is my output of the command I mentioned above

Actually I just changed the driver from vesa to i810 in my xorg.conf file. And it's a fresh installation of Debian.

Sorry harishankar I've seen that you posted your whole xorg.conf so I decided to change my post and also post my conf.
So how about if you copy my conf regarding the sections DEVICE, SCREEN
I also checked your lsmod output against mine and I don't see a huge differences only some but nothing regarding the problem we're trying to fix.

Same
Code:
[drm] Initialized drm 1.0.1 20051102
[drm] Initialized i915 1.4.0 20060119 on minor 0

It all seems to rest in this particular error in glxinfo

libGL warning: 3D driver returned no fbconfigs.
libGL error: InitDriver failed
libGL error: reverting to (slow) indirect rendering
...
