Erm I'm not behind that machine right now, but its an FC2 install with 
xorg upgraded from rawhide somewhere during FC3 testing. I'm using the 
i810 driver afaik. The only problem I had was that the later xorg want 
to load i915.o as drm module for the kernel and that wasn't shipped by 
fedora at that time. I've filed a bug about this and later kernels have 
it. I'm usign the latest kernel from FC2-updates.

BTW The reason for going to the rawhide xorg was that the FC2 xorg 
crashes whenever a 3d screensaver kicks in, or maybe it was a powersave 
problem, either way the current FC3 xorg should be fixed also.

Regards,

Hans
