Fedora own XF86Config file sucks terribly. Download Thomas Winischoffer
one and replace your /etc/X11/XF86Config.

My laptop uses Sis630 and there was a huge problem w/ the XF86Config
file. After I replaced w/ the above, everything was fine! :-p
You might also wanna replace the line
Option "XkbLayout" "de"
to
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
if you don't use a German keyboard!
With kind regards,
Didier.
