you need to recognize that the versions of xorg in Fedora 10 are very
different than the one in CentOS 5
what you posted isn't sufficient for anyone to help you troubleshoot but
you probably should be putting it all in bugzilla
http://bugzilla.redhat.com
Though I would suspect that at this moment, most of the developers
attentions are on the F11 release.
