/me wonders why people keep using the crappy old i810 driver instead of the 
new hotness intel driver... :)

The xorg.conf file for my mini is about as bare-bones as is possible, and Just 
Works at 1920x1080p w/the intel driver, and produces flawless playback of all

to make stuff off Fox play back smoothly).
