I don't know if this is related but my X system run really slow ( 
minutes to draw the login screen) when I use 2.6.31-2.fc12.i686 (no 
PAE). I can, however move to one of the tty screens and get normal 
performance from the command line programs (but my wireless isn't 
working). The same same system works fine if I reboot using 
2.6.31-0.204.... This is a dell laptop d620 with i915 graphics.
