Warren,

Do you have any sense as to whether or not the ATI Rage 128 Mobility
chipset used in laptops is affected?

I'll download & try your rpms, though I haven't yet experienced any of
the problems described in the Bugzilla report. The worst that can happen
is that I lose X until I can up2date them again, right?
