Thanks, that rattled my memory.
Running the '915resolution' prog from
http://www.geocities.com/stomljen/download.html in a rc. startup
to hack a proper video bios mode line lets X choose the correct
resolution.
Given that we are never, ever, going to ship 915resolution in Core, I
would appreciate it if you'd test the 'intel' driver as well, since the
next major release of the i810 driver is expected to be based on that
branch.
