I have a Fujitsu notebook with the same chip. The driver in etch works fine, though you might need to install the '915resolution' utility if your display resolution is non-standard and you want to use the highest resolution.
If you don't want to use etch, then you might be able to use the 'vesa' driver in Sarge. It definately worked for me on some of the systems that didn't support the correct driver, though it will probably mean sacrificing some resolution or acceleration.
