It's worth saying, this is an F-9 install, with the latest kernel. I do
run rawhide, but only under virtual machines with emulated hardware.

Nope, actually for over a year X600 was perfectly rock solid, desktop
effects worked just fantastic, and I was actually able to make people
who looked at my machine think "hey, this desktop Linux thing aint
bad" (ok, they might just think "this Linux thing" there).

So whatever happened in recent *F-9* updates broke it :)
