Thanks for the feedback. I noticed that the CVS version and the original 
  version on FC3T1 were built on the same build host and used the same 
kernel.

It looks like time to download the source code related to the i810 video 
driver, for past and present versions. Either that or try to isolate the 
  binary for the i810 from the version that worked and rename it i815 
and use it for the life of the computer. Xorg doesn't seem to be 
actively responding to the bug report.

Oh well, hopefully it will be fixed before the next beta.
