Thanks for testing this. I830 fixed function pipeline did give me lot of
trouble to make it work correct, and it's still not working stable. Some
part of 3d pipeline is different on i845G and 865G, which I haven't taken
care of in current code. Please stay tuned, I'll try to fix it when I have
more findings later.
