X for i810 video is still not working with xorg-x11-6.7.99.902-6

[Jim Cornette]

Since X is down for those with the 810 or 815 version of video cards, I 
have been copying the driver from the earlier X version that is on the 
FC3T1 CD to the below.

/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/i815_drv.o

When X is installed and is does not come up, I then replace the

/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/i810_drv.o

file with the working driver, in order to get my X up and running.

Anyway, on the newer installations, the older i810_dvr.o driver is 
replaced with the latest version. I therefore test out the newest driver 
and find that it failed.

This is interesting to me, except the below bug is said to be checked 
into CVS.

https://freedesktop.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1084 (and 1086)

How soon will this fix take to get incorporated into the next release of X?

PS: The connection problem that was reported earlier is now gone. After 
I downloaded the rpms for the days between 8/22 and today, on the FC2 
system. I chrooted in a mingetty terminal this test installation, 
mounted the directory which contained the downloaded rpms. I then rpm 
-Uvh *.rpm all of the packages within the directory that contained the 
downloaded rpms. 85 rpms upgraded and then after exiting the chrooted 
FC3T1 environment running in tty1 and closing down the FC2 applications 
(tty2, tty3 and X environment), I rebooted into the FC3T1 system and 
tested the NIC and X. X did not work, net did.
