Ok, as an update I was able to get 16-bit 1280x1024 out of an i815 
on board video system with XFree86 4.0.3, despite it not being
listed as supported in their driver status notes.  This was on a 
RedHat 7.0 host system, not the PeeWeeLinux [0.61.0] target which
doesn't inherently have 4.0.3 support in it.  I'm going to tackle
getting the right stuff in the target package next...

Here are the relevant lines from XF86Config:

Section "Device"
	Identifier "Intel Corporation|82810E CGC [Chipset Graphics
Controller]"
	Driver	"i810"
	BoardName	"Unknown"
	VideoRAM	8192
EndSection

Section "Screen"
	Identifier "Screen0"
	Device "Intel Corporation|82810E CGC [Chipset Graphics Controller]"
	Monitor "My Monitor"
	DefaultDepth   16
	Subsection	"Display"
		Depth	16
		Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
	EndSubsection
EndSection
