Are you starting X immediately after booting, or some time later?

I don't think the agpgart message is relevant.  What I think is 
happening is that the driver cannot allocate enough videoram, or perhaps 
cannot allocate it contiguously in physical RAM or something along those 
lines.

In any case you should read the i810 manpage (`man i810') and see if any 
of the many tips / configuration settings in that page makes any 
difference at all.  (Particularly play with increasing or decreasing 
VideoRam, and disabling DRI).

If that doesn't help then it's probably a general Xen problem, so asking 
about this upstream on xen-users[1] or xen-devel[2] lists could help.

In any case, if you find a way to fix it please let us know.

Rich.
