Digging a little deeper... (everything works except after a yum update)
As far as I can tell, the above RPM only does 4 things:
1) Renames /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/char/drm/i915.ko
to old.i915.ko.old and the same name with the current date.
Because of compiling errors, no replacement modules are created.
Restoring this file has no effect that that I can see, although it is
loaded.
2) Copies <tarfile>/XOrg/GL/libGL.so.1.2 to /usr/X11R6/lib/
3) Copies <tarfile>/XOrg/i915/i810_drv.o to
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/
4) Copies <tarfile>/XOrg/i915/i915_dri.so to
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/
I'm not sure this is entirely all that the RPM is doing, but it's a
start. I'll test further after the next release of xorg RPMs, which seem
to be almost daily daily.
I got rhgb working again by copying the VESA xorg.conf to /etc/rhgb.
Using /etc/X11/xorg.conf, xorg has a fatal error ("libc_wrapper error:
passed invalid FILE handle to xf86fputc"). If someone wants the
XFree86.0.log file with the error recorded, just ask (it's 21 KB).
Both xorg.conf files are attached (vesa and i915).
