Does the vesa driver work for you? This should just get X up and running

As for xf86resources.... searching around actually produces lots of
things of this sort:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel/commit/?id=378445738494663f2ee1615598d4c77b870745af

Here's the path of the file in git:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/tree/hw/xfree86/common/xf86Resources.h?id=544bfd06663ff71bc5275459cf74a3557530544f

Not sure what package that's actually part of, though
