hum, you should attach , /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see what Chipset is
founded by Xorg.
A few day before Fedora8 officially be released, I notice that I need
upgrade xorg-server to have a stable configuration so I build and
upgraded this package : 
rpmbuild --rebuild libXxf86dga-1.0.2-1.fc7.src.rpm
rpmbuild --rebuild libXext-1.0.2-1.fc7.src.rpm
rpmbuild --rebuild libSM-1.0.3-1.fc7.src.rpm
rpmbuild --rebuild libpciaccess-0.10.0-2.fc7.src.rpm
rpmbuild --rebuild pixman-0.9.6-1.fc7.src.rpm
rpmbuild --rebuild mesa-7.0.3-2.fc8.src.rpm
rpmbuild --rebuild xorg-x11-server-1.4.1-6.fc8.src.rpm
rpmbuild --rebuild xorg-x11-server-utils-7.4-4.fc7.src.rpm
rpmbuild --rebuild xorg-x11-xkb-utils-7.3-1.fc7.src.rpm
rpmbuild --rebuild xorg-x11-drv-keyboard-1.2.2-5.fc7.src.rpm
rpmbuild --rebuild xorg-x11-drv-mouse-1.2.3-4.fc7.src.rpm
rpmbuild --rebuild xorg-x11-drv-evdev-1.2.0-1.fc8.src.rpm
rpmbuild --rebuild synaptics-0.15-1.fc7.src.rpm

After this I had try xorg-x11-drv-i810-2.2.1 git version I also renamed
to xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.2.1-0.fc8.i386.rpm.
I just test it in other computer with one Readon 9200SE.

And I am very happy with the results, "hiper" stable.
If you would like to try upgrade Xorg 7.2 to 7.3, I can publish my
Humbled work.
