You might try to download the src rpm for xorg-x11 and rebuild. I had 
some luck with compiling and then installing the resulting rpms.

rpmbuild --rebuild --target i386 xorg-x11-<version>.src.rpm when in the 
directory where you downloaded the src.rpm to.

You might also try to rename the installed i810_drv.o file located at
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/
  and adding this compiled i810_drv.o from a cvs build that I compiled 
and uploaded to a bug report that was filed for the i810 problem 
relating to the 815 graphics controller.

This is the driver from a working version before the killing of X for 
the i810.

Personally, I have a functional system now with the stock rpms from the 
latest CVS release and keeping at 24 depth (millions of colors and at 
1280x1024 or 1400x1050 screens)

related bugs that I know of are below.

xorg
https://freedesktop.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1086
https://freedesktop.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1084

Fedora-bugzilla
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=132267
which leads you to the triage bug set up when bug becomes duplicate of 
another bug.

Basically, it is messed up currently. When running at 16 depth and at 
1024x768 you are alright until you change to a terminal. With other 
experienced problems, you get the refresh error.

If you hang back to the xorg-x11 available on the fc3t1 installation 
discs, you should be alright. Otherwise, you should file a bug report or 
attach to one for your problem relating to the i810 driver.

Good luck and welcome to the i810 world. I am using the i810 now and see 
no problems at 1400x1050 and 24 depth. My graphics controller is builtin 
to the motherboard also.
