A question: drivers for XFree works with Xorg? Xorg is built from XFree prior to a copyright change. So at one point in time the code was the same. It should be possible to patch the Xorg code.

You might search bugzilla to see if this is a known problem with a known fix. If there is no open bug you might consider filing a bug that identifies the hardware and lets the keeper of the bits that matter to you know that there is an update. I gave it a glance and there is a FC1 package.... so FC2 should be possible. -- T o m M i t c h e l l /dev/dull where insight begins.
