Replacing libvgahw.a is all that is needed right now. There is a version 
of xorg-x11 that has a fix (compiled w/ a debugged/later version of 
GCC4). The upcoming version worked fine on my Intel 815 w/ o the need to 
change the file. From Kristian Høgsberg, comment #153 in bug 161242.

excerpt:

I've updated the RPMs to disable the gcc miscompilation workaround, since
gcc-4.0.1-4 now has a fix for the problem.  xorg-x11-6.8.2-45 should be in
rawhide soon, in the meantime I've put up -45 RPMs built with the new gcc here:

Please give them a try so we can see if the gcc fix works as intended. Thanks!
