Posting on the test list for Fedora dwvelopment, I discovered that my problem
with X and Mike's problem are both related to the 815 cards. I filed bug 1086
and provided logs for my problem in attached files.
I tested another machine that has an 828 656 graphics controller and also uses
the i810 driver. The changes between the prior versions and the CVS head were
significant enough to reduce random crashes with xscreensavers.

I was surprised that both graphics controllers used the same driver. The 815
chip based card worked great on prior versions of X.
I seem to recall that there was a seperate driver for the i815 card. If there
never was a seperate driver for the card, there should be seperate drivers for
the 815 and for other similar (but quite different) graphics controller.
lspci displays that I have the card type below.

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corp. 82815 CGC [Chipset Graphics
Controller] (rev 02)

I hope something is useful in either report to resolve the issue.

server log files are in the other bug report.

My motherboard is a Supermicro Super 370SSM w/ an Intel 815 Solano chipset.
