The problem lies=20 with the Intel VBIOS not reporting the correct resolution to Xorg. As a=20 workaround you need to modify the VBIOS and use an updated i810 driver. Her= e=20 is the Xorg i810 driver: http://www.fairlite.demon.co.uk/intel.html To modify the VBIOS please install and run sysutils/915resolution. Thank'll fix it!
