At least I'm learning a bit about what certain settings do and how 
important setting a few numbers can bring down X or make it work properly.

Both the man and info pages are useful for the i810 driver to some 
extent. Examples and specific information on the functions of commands 
might have been explained a bit better for the general users.

I found interesting the information about the module used for your 
particular setup. This would give me away for running a tainted version. 
This was before the 24 depth setting restored functionality for the 
stock binaries that were compiled for this version of X.

To clarify things to me, are you getting the refresh problem with 
setting to 24 depth? This sounds reverse to my situation.

As a note: I added the DRI option to the xorg.conf file and am going to 
see if this allows me to see what DRI enabling will do at 16 depth on 
this computer.
