I'm running Xorg on an X30 with 2.6.9, and think I have DRI running
fine.  So it is possible!  I can send you my config files privately if
you would like, although I don't have that laptop in front of me.

As the other responder stated, you also need agpart (and intel_agp).

i810 is what you want (or at least what I have).  In the "Module"
section, do you have 'Load "dri"' and 'Load "glx"' lines?  Any error
messages on start up of X?

Good luck!
