You want to remove the XFree86-<driver> RPM -- probably XFree86-SVGA.  Then
install the older version of that same package.  If it still complains
about dependencies (which it might), you can use "rpm -e --nodeps
<package>" to delete it -- you can ignore the deps because you'll be
installing a new package straight away.
