OK.

I've sorted it out after a _lot_ of googling. For the record, the fix is
to add:

	Option "NoDDC" "True"

in the Device section (thanks to the OpenBSD guys for this).

I've also found when dealing with other i810 graphics cards that
specifying the video RAM is a necessity, i.e. add the following to the
Device section too:

	VideoRam	4096
