For what it's worth I have done the following things and the Intel i945GM video on my Dell Inspiron 6400 notebook is working now (in DRI mode with all bells and whistles):

* Updated xserver-xorg-driver-i810 which now has the i945GM PCI IDs patch etc applied (1.4.1.3-0ubuntu2).

* Built my own mesa packages from the 6.4.1-0ubuntu6 sources, with the patch at the top of this thread applied.

* Built my own kernel from the latest vanilla 2.6.16 sources using the dapper 2.6.15-19 config.

* Used the 855resolution hack program to set my video bios modes to include the native panel resolution 1280x800.
