What do you mean by X doesn't load?

Dude,

There are no "modes" defined. Add a line to your "Display" subsection similar to this.

Modes "1280x1024" "1280x960" "1280x800" "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"

That was straight off my conf. You don't need all of those modes, but 1024x768 & 800x600 are probably necessary.

is ur FC6?
it seems that xorg.conf has changed in FC6 from FC5, whats going on with xserver's configurations???
its much smaller from FC5's

If you read the Xorg.0.log file you'll see that the X was complaining that
it couldn't find any modes for your chosen depth of "16". I checked
the i810 driver source. It does seem to support 16bits (8,16,24,32).
Like jhetrick62 said, you should try to specify one of the modes listed
in Xorg.0.log. Let us know how things work out.

As to changes from FC5. I beleive the X server (Xorg) has lots of builtin
defaults. It makes sense to me to have defaults removed from xorg.conf
so that people new to X configuration don't have so much to wrestle with.

The modes and basic settings in xorg.conf aren't much different from fc5 to fc6. I run both on different boxes as well as FC3 still for my kids. All have that statement as the x server, has no idea what size display you want if you don't tell it what is possible. It's basically like your wife driving in a strange city without a map!

Looking at your Xorg.0.log it looks like the best you are going to get is

Code:

Section "Screen"
	Identifier "Screen0"
	Device     "Videocard0"
	DefaultDepth   32
	SubSection "Display"
		Viewport   0 0
		Depth   32
		Modes   "1024x768"
	EndSubSection
EndSection

This is Mode 54 in the BIOS. You could get a bit more but it is a lot of work. Check the many threads in this forum on the i810 and/or https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=643.

thankx i will give it a shot

You could also try Mode 58, Modes "1280x1024", Depth 32, if you don't mind the 5:4 aspect ratio.
