---------------------------------------------------------- No, but I remember some mumble on this list about some problems with xorg stuff ?
Do all users of FC4 need to update their xorg files?
Can you point to where I can find more info on this?
Thanks for the help, system is useless till I can get it fixed.

<sarcasm> System won't fix itself. Updated software won't break it. </sarcasm>
Search the archives for lots of related information. (There was one update of the xorg software that had an issue but it has been updated again and I have seen no complaints recently.) Also, there were a lot of different issues with the early release of FC4 that were fixed over time by updates to a _lot_ of different packages.
If you want a stable, secure system where everything works as expected then do a simple 'yum update' and get all installed packages updated to the latest. If you still have problems after that then ask again.

Probably, yes. I don't know whether the problems with the initial Xorg installation it affected everybody, but it affected lots.

You can search through this list, or just take heed of the advice that you're getting now.
