What I'm planing to do is to resinstall the smallest version of SuSE Linux that I can, in dual-boot mode (I hope that won't clobber anything in the Fedora install, aside from borrowing some disk space), and then to see what its xorg.conf looks like. X had run fine under SuSE, I just got rid of it because it was only the Server edition (from my workplace) and had no application software.
I'll post anything useful that I learn.
thanks for the help, Bruce
Bruce:
Rather than going through all of the hassle of installing and then uninstalling SuSE, it would be a lot less work if you used a live-CD distro; Knoppix is especially good at identifying and configuring hardware.

Also, the xorg.conf file is not the exact problem causing the error. The problem is with the xorg-x11 driver for the i810 video cards.
The only thing that I see is to add the
Option "NoAccel"
To the xorg.conf file, then get the xorg-x11 where the breakage was resolved/reduced for the 810 and 815 video chipset class.
Going through installing SUSE also to check the config file seems to be a lot of work, but I have resorted to some very out of the ordinary workarounds or detective methods also.
