Just wanted to highlight this one.  If you've got Intel graphics and 
want to test (or run!) the modesetting driver, switch to Driver "intel" 
in xorg.conf.

If you do so, PLEASE send me success stories in bugzilla (filed against 
xorg-x11-drv-i810 will get them to me), preferably complete with X log 
so I can start whitelisting devices over to the new driver.  It's really 
important to get this tested, since I expect 1.7 of the i810 driver to 
have the modesetting branch merged; unfortunately it doesn't look like 
that will happen before FC6, so this was the best I could do.

Thanks for all the feedback so far, keep it coming.
