it's not so hard. before upgrading 'rpm -qa | grep XF > oldX' ; init 3
and save your XF86Confg-4. then try to update X rpms and keep track of
the other rpms you have to update too... then if it doesn't work you can
just rpm -e all the new crap and put back the orig rpms (or try
rpm --downgrade). A bit a pain but no lossage...

Just to clarify the -ac kernels support an either/or model. So if you
want both 4.1.x and 4.0.x to work at the same time you're out of luck -
you'll at least have to play with module names (if you compiled twice
and renamed agp modules appropriately), or reboot to a kernel with the
other flavour of AGP support.
I have no idea what the NVidia agp support is like - perhaps that
doesn't care what kernel agpgart version you have...
Just to drag this topic back to XFS - a friend is installing on Alphas
and gets a kernel panic when xfs_check or xfs_repair is run... is this a
known problem? He's using the XFS for Alpha RH7.1 installer I presume
that's the Release 1.0.1 Alpha-XFS-Installer-PR1.iso ... Would a cvs kernel
and xfsprogs help any?
cheers,
