I have seen quite a lot of bugzilla reports concerning graphical install as well as running X issues with 82845, and some 82945, graphics chipsets, and some reports go back to F8 days and seem were never resolved even up to F10.
I have two machines (one with each of these chipsets) and need to update them to F10 using a clean install. On one machine (which has 82845G) the graphical install failed as soon as the graphical part of the boot started during an install attempt earlier today.
Does anyone have a workaround to get machines with these graphics chipsets installed? By the way I used a home-spun re-spin of the DVD iso for the install that includes all updates to 3rd January 09. I have not seen any further updates appear since that time so this is as up to date as I can find at the moment.
The problem appears to be in the newer xorg-x11-drv-i810 driver so any information about progress in this direction would be appreciated.

See also https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=473101. This problem with Intel 82915G/GV/910GL is probably the same.
At least on RHEL5 this still works, with F9 and F10 (I don't remember if I tried F8) it doesn't work anymore.

Maybe https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=429500 is related?
This suggests that i810 might work where vesa and intel drivers do not?

A very recent reply to that bz suggests that a fix may already be in the kernel updates to F10 for 945 chipsets - and since I do have the newest kernel in my install iso, I should be able to check that when I return to the machine in the next day or so, but in the meantime I would really appreciate it if anyone can confirm a good working install for F10 on a machine with 82945G graphics?
Thanks

I installed FC10 on an IBM Thinkpad x30. 82830 chipset or there abouts. I did a text installation and used this xorg config [0]. Worked. Hope that helps you.

Use 'xdriver=vesa' in boot parameters or a text install. Follow up with a workaround described in the referenced report.
On one machine (which has 82845G) the graphical install failed as soon as the graphical part of the boot started during an install attempt earlier today.
Most likely a display driver went into an infinite loop as detailed in bugzilla.

OK I got a graphical install for a Dell Dimension which has 82945G graphics by adding "xdriver=vesa nomodeset" to the kernel line for the install. (I used a grub stansa to start the install from the vmlinuz and initrd.img copied from the install iso. This allowed a hard drive install referenced to the stored iso on the HD on a partition that would not be touched during install.)
Once the install had completed I intercepted firstboot and added the same kernel line parameter during boot to complete the install. After that I used the "intel" driver with option "NoAccel" in xorg.conf as previously suggested by others - this gives the correct screen resolution but lousy graphics performance when for example dragging a window around.
The alternative is to use the vesa driver which gives fuzzy screen display but better graphics performance - so I prefer the slow screen and crisper display!
I wonder when there will be a properly working intel driver?
