What ever.

do a rpm -Uvh xsvga.rpm

the go to your

/usr/X11R6/bin

directory

then find the file with

XFCom
or maybe just
Xcom

(I forget it has been awhile)

and then

rm XF86_SVGA
cp XFCom XF86_SVGA

(Replace XFCom with the real file name)_

Then run Xconfigurator and set your prefrences but when it asks for what
type of card
go to Undifended
and choose the SVGA chipset.
