The blanking problem is different than the refresh problem described in 
the bug report that you referenced.

I have an Intel 815 (uses the i810 driver also) that works great except 
for a blue border prior to 3.92 and its version of X.
I don't add the noaccel option and have no problem in resolutions higher 
than what is supported by DRI (1280x1024 at 24) and no problem with 
(1024x768 at 16). This is the version shortly before FC4T3 was released.

Whatare you trying to set your resolution to when the blanking was 
encountered? (Depth/resolution?)

I'm downloading the iso files for FC4T3 right now and would like to see 
if I can confirm your problem description.
