I installed FC4 test 3.92 on my computer which has the ntel 82810e
DC-133 CC Video Controller.
The install went fine, but the screen went blank after specifying the
screen resolution. I think this is when the X server is started for the
first time.
The solution was to boot off the rescue cd, and
change /etc/X11/xorg.conf and add Option "noaccel" to the
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "i810"
VendorName "Videocard vendor"
BoardName "Intel 810"
Option "noaccel"
EndSection
I think this bug has been around for some time.

The blanking problem is different than the refresh problem described in
the bug report that you referenced.
I have an Intel 815 (uses the i810 driver also) that works great except
for a blue border prior to 3.92 and its version of X.
I don't add the noaccel option and have no problem in resolutions higher
than what is supported by DRI (1280x1024@24) and no problem with
(1024x768@16). This is the version shortly before FC4T3 was released.
Whatare you trying to set your resolution to when the blanking was
encountered? (Depth/resolution?)
I'm downloading the iso files for FC4T3 right now and would like to see
if I can confirm your problem description.
