Reporter, are you able to reproduce this bug with the released (and upgraded to the latest updates) RHEL, please?
Reporter, could you please reply to the previous question?
With latest updates, I'm unable to use i810 driver at all. It always trying to allocate more memory than available, even if video mode is manually set to 1024x768 16bpp. Only vesa driver works. system-config-display-1.0.48, xorg-x11-drv-i810 1.6.5-9.6. This card shoud be removed from list of supported by i810 driver cards. I you comment out the line with this device (258A) in i810.xinf, system-config-display create configuration for vesa driver and X works.
Adding to 5.3 radar.
