Just tested this problem out on rawhide with the latest everything. It
appears that switching to a virtual terminal, then back to the GUI locks
up the computer, puts the fan into high speed mode, emits a smell of
overheated silicon.
Best to boot from runlevel 3 and use startx & to launch X, do not
switch to a terminal console, then back to the GUI. Stay away from
tuxracer also. (As a test program).
kernel-2.6.10-1.1142_FC4
xorg-x11-6.8.2-1
I haven't tried the previous noaccel or other suggestions yet, but it is
still broken.
