Nope. The X.log file is showing a normal boot of the F7t3 install dvd
without vesa on a laptop with the X700.

Thanks for the BZ. That one describes the problem I experienced too. If
the new packages will be included in F7t4 I'll be happy to test F7t4 on
the laptop with the X700 again to see if it fixed the issue and report
