Refer to this bug report for information on adding Option "Noaccel" to xorg.conf file. The problem that you are seeing is due to breakage for the i810 driver, which is used by your card.
After upgrading to the latest xorg-x11 version, maybe the option would not be needed and can be removed. It worked on a system that I have and even seems to be a better driver than it was previously.
I just posted a question regarding the upgrades to xorg-x11. If you can report your experience, it would be helpful to confirm or argue against the latest version removing the horrible refresh problem for this chipset.
I have it working now, sort of.
I had to boot up with the rescue disk and edit the inittab to get it to boot in CLI mode (level 3). Once I did that, I ran yum update and got all the upgrades. Then my wireless card stopped working, but one thing at a time. After rebooting, I managed to get the X server to start. I had to add the noaccel option and set the resolution and color depth by hand because system-config-display guessed incorrect values. For some reason I can only get it to work in 16 bit mode, although it works in 24 bit mode with WinXP.
The vesa driver only shows diagonal lines on my system. I don't know if it would work at all for the 815 video card.
I have it working with the i810 driver now.

And this has been one of them.
Thanks.
