And yet, it worked in XFree?  Here I thought XOrg was branched from
XFree...  It would seem if anything it's too optomized, avoiding drawing
where it doesn't think it has to ;>  In all seriousness, though, I saw
some kernel messages in the syslog about ring bugger errors and such
related with the video card.

This seems like a showstopper problem though, for people with this card.
This Dell GX110 isn't exactly a new unsupportable type machine either...

Also - didn't FC2 use Xorg?  Maybe I never used FC2 on this machine..

(off to find a machine with working graphics to look at bugzilla...)
