I have a similar problem with an Intel i815 video controller on an IBM PC.  
s-c-d doesn't offer me anything better than 800x600 resolution at 16bpp or 
1024x768 at 8bpp.  But by manually editing the xorg.conf I have it working at 
1024x768 with 16bpp. 
 
It appears that s-c-d thinks that my video device can only have 1M of video 
RAM (what the BIOS is set to) and disregards the possibility of 
using /dev/agpgart.

For all i810 resolution bugs, please try the 'intel' driver from Fedora Core 6,
and reopen if this is still an issue for you with that driver.

Comment 3 Adam Jackson 2007-04-03 18:22:24 UTC
NEEDINFO timeout, resolving as INSUFFICIENT_DATA.  If you are still experiencing
this bug in FC6 or FC7, please reopen.  Thanks for the report!
