Great! Thanks for filing the report. I will follow the progress for this 
report.

I included the file with the bug report and various comments. BIOS 
settings, the BIOS version shipped with the computer were my major 
problems with the Dell with an Intel 865G card.

Hopefully your problem will be investigated and corrected by those more 
in the know than I am.

My next problem with the 865G card was related to random crashes of the 
server where X was killed but the residual memory content was displayed 
on the screen. When they broke the Intel 810 driver for work in the 830, 
it fixed the random crashes with the 865G. The bug report was left not 
visibly being responded to. Anyway, at lease you have X running with the 
VESA temporarily.
