I've just booted my FC7 to check for the VGA driver. Alright I've booted with 
the planetccrma 2.6.24.7-1.rt3.2.fc7.ccrmart kernel, but the the VGA driver 
is there as vga15fb.ko.

Just had a quick look at the latest FC7 kernel that I had before support was 
dropped, 2.6.23.8-34.fc7, and that too shows the vga16fb.ko driver.

Just a bit of info from a still useable but no longer supported Fedora 
version.

BTW. I'm posting from FC2, and have hardly ever had a problem with it.
