i810 problems on Fedora 10

I just got back from a relaxing holiday on Grand Cayman, only to waste time fiddling around with the Intel i810 driver problems on Fedora 10.

A rough and ready work-around is to remove your xorg.conf completely and let Xorg automatically detect the settings to use... X has certainly come a long way in the last 10 years, especially since the Xorg/XFree86 split. The only problem with this is that it ends up using the "intel" driver instead of the "i810" driver, and i810 used to be both faster and allow the cloned screen operation I used to use for giving presentations...
