But up2date and yum work fine. Make sure you have the most
recent versions. Check the list archives for various solutions
to this if you haven't already done so.

As you know the configs from the /configs directory won't work
on a vanilla kernel from kernel.org. I note from other messages
in this thread that you do not overclock. I am not sure whether
exec-shield affects compiling. Look into it.

Depending on the graf card you have, this has been known to happen
with the opengl screensavers. Try disabling them. I must say they
work fine on my Matrox G550.
