I have 3 different machines with intel graphics on them. The last i810
driver that worked for me was 2.4.2-1.fc10, circa 2008-08-26. I've tried
pretty much every new version in rawhide since then, in combination with
various kernels. without success. I've also added bugzilla entries, which
for the most part seem to be ignored. I regularly scan through the bug
reports to try to pick up hints on how to fix things. There are lots of
reports (far more than usual I think) about the intel driver.

kernel 2.6.29-0.12.rc0.git7.fc11 doesn't work with compiz, so one of my
suggestions would be to turn off compiz for a while.

It used to be relatively easy to restore just the old i810 driver in case of
a failure. Recent changes in rawhide make it tougher to test because you'll
probably need back out more dependencies.

There are very large changes being introduced both the the driver code and
in the kernel. The bottom line is that the intel driver has been unstable
for quite some time, and you should expect to be patient.
