I downgraded to the driver from FC6T1 and that manages to start in the
1440x900 resolution and work. But as soon as i try to logout it hangs my
machine hard. 

Would things like logfiles be helpful here , or should i take this the
the Xorg list ? In the last case, what is the exact sourcecode version
of the latest i810 driver in rawhide ?
