The version currently in rawhide is broken again for the 815 graphics card. I am going to try the version in testing for FC3 to see if it is alright later. The rawhide version is a no go. Regarding Bruce's problem, I suspect that booting into runlevel 3 instead of 5 might resolve the monitor issue. Either that or selecting a generic monitor. I never had to add any additional options to boot up with the 815 graphics card.
