Your video is working ok using the i815 driver? I have a notebook with Intel 
915GM chipset, but the screen is not updated correctly when I set up X to use 
the i815 driver, although it worked fine in FC4. I have to use the vesa 
driver to get video working.
If you're using the i815 driver successfully in FC5, did you made any special 
configuration to get it working?

Thanks,

Marcelo
