Recompiling just the drm and i915 modules with the attached files fixes the
problem.
Comment 5 German Monroy 2006-09-28 21:03:44 UTC 
Oops, never mind :-(

I was reading the changelog for a newer kernel than the one I was running.  The
kernel in FC6 Test3 did not have the changes required for Broadwater support
(linux-2.6-drm-i965.patch).  

I just tested 2.6.18-1.2699.fc6 and the 3D module loads i915 fine.

I am sorry for the confusion.
