using intel driver in Xorg.conf with an updated x86_64 fc7 where
screen/monitor/device are configured as:

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier   "1706FP"
        HorizSync    30.0 - 81.0
        VertRefresh  56.0 - 76.0
EndSection

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Videocard0"
        Driver      "intel"
#       Driver      "i810"
        Option "AperTexSize" "65536"
        Option "PageFlip" "true"
        Option "TripleBuffer" "true"
#       Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
#       Monitor     "1706FP"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device     "Videocard0"
        DefaultDepth     24
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     24
        EndSubSection
EndSection

I get 1280x1024 mode but the top and bottom panel seem to understand they
are in as 1024x768 one...:
both are shorter than the whole horizontal lenght of the screen and the
bottom one is not at bottom of the screen but 1/5 above of it
The applications behave correctly in the sense that they use the whole
screen whne maximized / moved...

In log file I have

using the i810 driver option in device section I don't get this problem but
tipically I have to Ctrl+Alt+BackSpace 4-5 times before getting the gdm
login screen.
otherwise I only hear a beep and get a black screen...
Sometimes I need to go with init 3 / init 5 ....
Any news on this side? Any way to contribute debugging? Is this problem the
same for i386 or is it an x86_64 specific one?
Any bug numbers already opened to fill with further information?
The system is a Dell SX280 desktop where lspci -v gives:
