another i810 crash when switching bewteen X and text console

Hello,

I've noticed this with the Intel 865G chipset (i810 driver) on XFree86 
4.7.0
(Linux, 2.4.35 kernel).

I've got two different machines with this chipset. In both cases, the BIOS 
is
set-up for using 8MB of VRAM (this memory is taken from the RAM).

1) industrial PC : 8085:2572 with subvendor/device 8086:4246 (Intel 865 
GBF motherboard)

Here there is no crash.

2) Dell GX270 : 8086:2572 with subvendor/device 1028:0151 (Dell 
motherboard)

Here X crashes when switching to text console and back to X.
It seems that the Dell BIOS mismanages something ...

The solution I found to avoid this crash is to use 865patch (available at
http://www.chzsoft.com.ar/855patch.html) and set the VRAM to 32000
(for example) before starting X.

I think this could be mentionned in the release-notes and/or i810 man 
page.

IMHO the same information could be given for the Intel 845G (eg apply 
845patch).

Have a nice day.
