Here's what I had to do for my I810 on LM 7.1 to get 1024x768 at 16 bits:
Edit /etc/X11/XF86Config:
Find the "Device" section that has an ID of Intel 810
Add the following lines to it:
VideoRam 2048
Chipset "i810"
Vendor "Intel"
Find the section "Screen" for "Driver" "svga"
Find the subsection within it that says depth 16
Add 1024x768 to the listed resolutions.
Save it, logoff and restart the X server.
Go into Drakconf and select Change X resolution.
Select 1024x768 at 16 bits.
If you are running LM 7.0, I'm not sure this will work because I don't think
the i810 driver is available by default. Take a look at support.intel.com
for the driver and instructions on how to load it.
