I tested the xorg-x11-6.8.2-1.FC3.10test version on my desktop that has 
the 815 card and al things seemed to work regarding dri, switching to 
terminals and switching to different resolutions and depths. I tested 
the nv driver on the same computer with the builtin and the driver was 
worse in performance than the i810 performed.

It seems the breakage hapened again from xorg-x11-6.8.2-1 through 
*6.8.2-10 for the i810 driver.

Has there been a new bug report filed for the rawhide i810 version breakage?

One thing is certain, the drivers from opensource could be made to work 
a lot better with the videocards. My test demonstrated this with trying 
the nvidia driver compared to the nv driver. I realize that nvidia has 
the code and knows the details of their hardware, but it really shows 
between the two drivers.
