It is difficult for me to check at this moment as the machine where
this was observed "went to work" and it will be back only in a
month.  Some other who were affected by this problem should re-test
and carry the banner. :-)

I am running the 2.6.6-1.403 kernel now and it seems it sort of works.
You can run a game in windowed mode but if you try to run it full screen
it knocks you out of the desktop and puts you to the login screen. Just
for the hell of it I checked prelink.log and any xscreensaver  that uses
opengl I got and error. Here's an example;

/usr/sbin/prelink: /usr/X11R6/lib/xscreensaver/flurry: Cannot prelink
against non-PIC shared library /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2

I don't know if that would have anything to do with the problem but I
thought you might want to know.
