After updating to x11-drivers/xf86-video-i810-2.0.0 my X.org starts up with an initial resolution of 1152x768 which is less than the 1600x1200 I've configured. The Ctrl+Alt+Plus and Ctrl+Alt+Minus shortcuts to changing the resolution won't work either, so I guess X believes that's the only mode available. After downgrading to 1.7.4 everything works fine again.
Created attachment 117670 [details, diff] diff of Xorg verbose log from 2.0.0 to 1.7.4 This is not really a patch, but as a diff output the patch markup facilities might be useful nonetheless. I started Xorg (without any window manager or other apps) twice, once with the broken 2.0.0 driver, and once with the working 1.7.4 driver. I used -logverbose in both cases and also have ModeDebug enabled. Of special interest to mee seems this line: -(II) intel(0): Output VGA using initial mode 1152x768 That is the only mode available.

Make sure you have the RandR 1.2 headers, lib and client and attach the output of 'xrandr'.
Please reopen when you respond to comment #3.
(In reply to comment #3) > Make sure you have the RandR 1.2 headers, lib and client and attach the output > of 'xrandr'. I don't know about randr headers, but I have the 1.2 lib and client. The output of xrandr even increased, in number of resolutions as well as in rates per resolution. My desired mode of 1600x1200 is there as well. I managed to have a wrapper session script call xrandr before starting my window manager, and as a result I now have my usual resolution back. The hotkeys to change resolution however still don't work.

Created attachment 117929 [details] Xorg backtrace after failed xrandr call While experimenting with xrandr, I once called it from another vt which at that time was in text mode. As a result my monitor switched to standby mode and remained there. Logging in from another machine via ssh I found out that the X server had died, and I had to reboot the system via ssh to get my video output back. Attached is a backtrace from the Xorg log of that X server session. Do you believe this to be related to my driver problem, or is this a separate bug for xorg-x11 or xrandr?
There is a forum thread on this: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-555058.html
Which X server version are you using? 1.3?
