You are my personal hero. Until I found this nothing worked for me to getting
my external 1680x1050 monitor working with my laptop and its Intel 915 graphic
card. I have tried nearly every Howto, 915resolution, Modlines and so on
without success. After installing the modsetting it worked out of
ctrl+alt+backspace restarts the server, that is not a crash but a
feature.

Here is my experience with the i810 driver (ThinkPad X41) and a dell
2007WFP 1680x1050 monitor.
With the standard i810 driver i can get the native resolution by using a
modeline but the picture is not aligned and blurry.
With the i810 modesetting driver haven't managed to get anything else then
I am using the i810-modesetting driver for some time now and it works
perfectly without problems for me. So I think the i810 driver of
current Feisty Main should be replaced by the i810-modesetting driver,

Also (4) is not an isue of the i810 driver, so I have reported this as a
separate bug, too:
