I have the i810 chipset onboard. I got the video working but not GLX. Does this chipset ever support direct rendering? If so, how do I enable/use it? I've only had experience with ATI cards.

Have you tried the Gentoo Direct Rendering Guide?

It was written for kernel 2.4... I'm running 2.6.5.

It's in the kernel. Add it in! Everything else is the same.

you might need to change the permissions on /dev/dri directory, though

look at the end of your /etc/X11/XF86config file for the dri section and uncomment it.

a good way to tell if the permissions are set up is by running glxgears and seeing if it gives you any errors. If it doesn't, you're good to go

Where in the kernel config? Is it actually labeled DRI or GLX?

Got it... I had to uncomment the DRI lines in /etc/X11/XF86Config and restart X. Thanks.
