Description dann 2006-05-24 06:40:39 UTC
This is on a Fedora Core 5 x86 machine (that uses xorg-7.0).

When trying to use startx an "INVALID MEM ALLOCATION" error is given and
X does not start. 

system-config-display also gives an error and it creates an empty xorg.conf file.

I booted the machine using a LiveCD that I had around and copied the xorg.conf 
file that it created, and I merged that file with a xorg.conf from a working
FC5 machine. The LiveCD uses xorg-6.8.2 (in case that makes a difference), and
it uses the i810 driver. Also I have now installed Fedora Core 4 on the machine 
(it uses xorg-6.8.2 and everything works fine with that version)

If I use the "vesa" driver I can start X with the 640x480 resolution. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xorg-x11-drv-i810-1.4.1.3-3.1

I will attach  xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log

Upgrade to X.org 7.1. It's a bug in the Xserver code, not in the i810 driver
that was fixed in X.org 7.1.
