This is a solution to my FC4 bugs.
Bug 160470 - Intel 845 with i810 driver can't do Ctrl+Alt+Fn:
"Right, it does, if one makes no errors in extracting files from the rpm. I forgot a simple dot and so the file size of lib was zero. Of course X is not able to load data from a zero size lib. ;-) So here's a small step by step to prevent other from making the same mistake -become root and cd to roots home
$cd -make a backup of libvga.a
$cp /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libvgahw.a /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libvgahw.a.org
-get the last FC3 xorg X11 (maybe you have to choose another ftp server or another platform) $wget ftp://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/fedora.redhat.com/linux/core/updates/3/i386/xorg-x11-6.8.2-1.FC3.13.i386.rpm -extract the libvgahw.a from the rpm (here I missed the dot in front of /usr) $rpm2cpio xorg-x11-6.8.2-1.FC3.13.i386.rpm | cpio -ivd ./usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libvgahw.a -copy it to the right place
$cp ./usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libvgahw.a /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libvgahw.a -remove rpm and temprary lib (be carefull not to delete your /usr!)
$rm -rf ~/usr $rm xorg-x11-6.8.2-1.FC3.13.i386.rpm -restart your X server -> Done! cheers Lars"
Have to tried it tonight
