Switching to the intel driver also 'fixed' the problem, but introduced a new one: I cannot make the intel driver drive two independent heads (either with or without Xinerama). I will submit a bug report (probably to xorg though) when I have time - for now single head is fine.=20 FWIW the 'i810' driver is the 'intel' driver at version 1.6.5. The 'intel' driver is the latest 'intel' driver at version 2.1.x . The rename of the driver occurred when it moved to version 2.0.0 iirc. The 'intel' driver also knows about correctly setting video modes that aren't present in the VBIOS, so hacks like 915resolution are no longer required when using the 'intel' driver.
