My X Server crashes at startup. The screen stays black,

Code:
~# grep -e EE -e WW /media/gentoo/var/log/Xorg.0.log
       
(WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.

(WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/TTF/" does not exist.

(WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/OTF" does not exist.
(WW) Open ACPI failed (/var/run/acpid.socket) (No such file or directory)

(II) Loading extension MIT-SCREEN-SAVER

(WW) intel: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:0:2:1) found

(WW) intel(0): Bad V_BIOS checksum
(EE) intel(0): unknown type(0xffffffff)=0xff

What version of the i810 driver are you running ?

There are problems with the 2.2.0 version so you may need to downgrade to an older version
to get things to work...

The driver version is 2.1.0 and X is starting now but the screen stays just black. Sometimes X fires up without trouble but most of the time the screen just goes black and a reboot is required. No changes are made between working startups and failed ones. No error messages.
