For some time now I have been running with ati drv 6.8.0-21.fc10.i386 
since the driver in combination with xorg-x11-drivers 7.3.8.fc10 is the 
only combination that gdm and xorg server works with.  I cannot point to 
why as the x log file does not show any errors.

When the problem occurs, typically, gdm flashes the logon screen several 
times before giving up unless I keep the aforementioned configuration. 
After gdm gives up, I get a logon terminal and can see that x is still 
running.  At this point I revert to the working configuration and 
continue with scratching my head.  Kernel is up to date.

Suggestions anyone?

TIA
