Could you please post some details about DRI?
Regarding the other resolutions forget about them. The only other resolution
I have been able to use with the I8K is 1280x1024, but 1400x1050 looks much
better.
You could instead use the vesafb at 1024x768 for the virtual consoles.
You get a nice screen of 128x48 characters. To activate it compile the
vesafb into the kernel and add the following option into lilo.conf:
append="vga=791"
