No graphics acceleration with etch.

I just installed etch on my Dell inspiron 1100. Everything is working fine
except that 3d acceleration isn't working (it does work in other distros,
including sarge). I has an intel video card which uses the i810 driver.
This might be the relevant section of the Xorg.0.log:

error opening security policy file /etc/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy

If anyone could help me with this, I'd appreciate it.
