Take a look at the Tseng driver in:
xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/tseng/tseng_driver.c
Look for a for a function that is called:
 xf86ValidateModes()
and see what parameters it gets.
Currently it seems to be incorrect as it always gets
 pTseng->FbMapSize (which is too large rather than too small).
You can print out parameters using ErrorF() instead of printf().

To some extend. At least I don't see any lockups.
My last set of patches for the i810 I had ready
some weeks before the 4.3 rlease were vetoed on the
devel list as too late for 4.3.
