Hrm... Nothing I added to that kernel should have any impact whatsoever on
X... I believe 104.fc8 or 105.fc8 did go into updates-testing though. Would
certainly be curious to hear if those *don't* cause the problem that 106.fc8
does, but I'd be quite surprised if the firewire update was the case.

FWIW, 106.fc8 runs without a problem on all of my boxes I've installed it on
thus far.
