Intel 82845G issues still aren't resolved.  This has been broken since
10/31/2008 on Rawhide, and is still broken.  I re-test whenever a new
F10 kernel, mesa, libdrm, or relevant xorg component comes out.

See:  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=469292
  "Xorg drv-i810 locks up unless NoAccel True"

I'd also like to find out when this is going to come together.
