What is the model of your monitor? 800x600 @ 60 Hz is pretty low end.
Your's should be atleast 800x600 @ 60 Hz (If Samtron 45B 14'') or
1024x768 @ 60 Hz (If Samtron 55E 15''). Try changing this. It should
definetly work out.
19) Video Mode - 800x600 and 640x480
20) Bit colour = 24 bit
Try going for 16 bit color depth instead.
21) Xserver modules to be loaded - All modules selected expect the
last one.
There is a comment coming behing about the modules.
22) Write files to configuration file? _ Yes
23) Write default DRI section to configuration file? - Yes.
and after putting th command gdm or kdm in the Debian prompt my Monitor
blinks for 2 times and XServer shows error:

See none of your 800x600 is supported because your monitor doesn't
support it (You informed it that way).

Don't use kernel's framebuffer interface. It sucks in I810. (By defualt,
the kernel don't have I810 framebuffer, you have to path it instead).
So, disable 'fb' module.
To sum up, try
1. Set you monitor parameters properly. Better read the monitor manual
(or it will be displayed on the monitor box) and go for advanced mode to
be more precise. Or atleast set it to 800x600 @ 70 Hz.
2. Decrease color depth to 16 and give a try.
3. Remove 'fb' module.
Things should be fine then I hope.
PS: Kernel shouldn't be matter at all for this error. Don't change your
kernel. But kernel 2.4 is always advisible over 2.2. Kernel 2.4 binaries
are present in Debian 3.0 itself.
HTH.
