The explanation of the problem in the bug report presented was informative to understand what exactly went wrong and what actions are being taken to make X to not have mysterious lockups that happen for no known reason and with no easy way to diagnose what exactly is going wrong. I believe the patch related to pci control governed by the kernel and not directly addressed by the X server was where X broke. I guess support for a wider range of Intel chipsets was part of the upgrade also. Does anyone have later model Intel graphics that now works? Also, out of curiousity, those wth Intel 810 or 815, was X broken with the previous security release? My card worked, I am just trying to figure out if it was my resolution settings (1280x1024@24) or if the 810/815 cards were not broken for others either. ( 1024x768@16 for example). For the person having the Quake tournament, good luck now since X should be working again. At least now your friends will be able to see how Fedora, or Linux distros in general are supposed to work.
