Well, the code for vgahw in 6.7.0 version is the same as for 6.8.1. The 
difference is a compiler.
FC3 uses gcc 3.4. I compiled original "libvgahw" module from 6.8.1 by 
gcc33 compiler and it works. :)
So, it became even more difficult to track down.

The simple solution - just to build xorg package with gcc33. :)

PS. I think I will check assembler output for both compilers and see if 
gcc34 could be tricked.
