Updated summary:
The only way I have found so far to make this ghastly piece of hardware
work with anything reasonably current is to use one of the framebuffer
drivers.
The best choice is the intelfb kernel driver and fbdev on top of that.
As this driver is not in debian current the fallback option is the
vesafb driver and the fbdev X11 driver on top. Ugly, performance is
nothing to shout about but works.

Summary for Fujitsu Lifebook S6010:
Squeeze intel xorg driver completely freezes the machine, the screen
goes unhealthy white, nothing works.
Lenny intel driver cannot find an LVDS panel it can recognise and
aborts, machine works, x does not.
Neither squeeze nor lenny vesa driver works (and I need Xv on this
machine anyway so this is not an option).
Last i810 before xorg moved from cvs to git builds cleanly on lenny
(with the message that says move to git commented out in configure),
but throws a segfault on initialisation.
I am going to try to fish out a sufficiently old i810 driver from the
freedesktop git or if that fails start walking back the i810 tree in
the old freedesktop CVS until I hit a release that works.
