Well maybe it worked.

I have a radeon AIW 8500DV.

system-config-display --reconfig

assigned the radeon driver - so far so good, but described 
it as the "vendor supplied driver" for radeon (?). The list 
also showed the ati driver, which was also described as for 
radeon.

In any event, for either the ati or radeon driver, 
system-config-display only showed 640x480 and 800x600.

And, the i810 driver description does not show i945G  ( I 
have another box with an i945 ).

So it looks like the hardware is correctly detected, but 
system-config-display may need some tune up.
