Just found a work around for 8.10. The Xorg "vesa" driver in 8.10 is not working either for my SM710 card, but the kernel VESA frame buffer driver works, by appending vga=0x317 to kernel boot arguments. This will give me a 1024x768 virtual console.
Then in Xorg.conf, specify "fbdev" as the driver, and X should work again.
