If you want to use FC4 and have not gotten FC4 up and running with that driver then get a AGP video card and plug it in. From what I have googled there is a split between the unichrome driver developers. The chances of seeing a new unichrome driver for the xorg 6.8 is about nil. If you do not want to invest more money in hardware use FC5.
