This is the way that I did it: 1). saved a copy of libvgahw.a from my Fedora 3 disc in a partition that I could mount in Fedora 4. 2). logged in via KDE/Gnome and executed a terimal session under the KDE desktop. 3). mounted the partition that I had saved the file in (I use two seperate disk drives). 4). saved the current copy of libvgahw.a and the did a 'cp' of the Fedora 3 version to the '/usr/X11R6/lib/modules' DIR. You millage may vary a bit, but that is how I managed to replace mine. I did solve the problem. I am using a Matrox G450 video card.
