The intel i810 driver was busted when FC3 was set to discs. If you 
update your system to the most current updates, the later versions 
should work. If this does not allow you to get higher resolutions.

I have an Intel 815 on one machine and the newer xorg-x11 versions 
helped get decent video.

It might be needed to run 'system-config-display --reconfig' in order to 
  get your xorg.conf file setup to what the tool thinks are the best 
settings for the card.

Also, there are man and info pages available for the i810 driver that 
might give you some options that you can apply to get the GUI up to the 
best settings for your usage. 640 x 480 is a bit limiting. :-)
