If you get i810/i915 drivers working, please post.


It appears that there is a major bug in Xorg 7 which prevents FC5 from using
the i810 driver:

This bug also affects Ubuntu Dapper and OpenSuSE 10.1. It looks like we will
have to wait until this bug is fixed to get things to work properly. For the
time being, I am using the vesa driver, as someone advised above, which is
far from ideal, as no matter how much I tinker with xorg.conf I can't get it
to display above 800x600. :(
