Intel graphics problems: [[e-mail]: Fedora Core 6 Test Update: xorg-x11-server-1.1.1-47.1.fc6]

[Daniel P. Berrange]

For anyone with an Intel graphics card who is experiancing hangs upon
boot / starting X under the Xen kernel, then I recommend testing this
updated X server RPm from updates-testing. It makes X use its own
x86 realmode emulator instead of relying on Xens.  Send feedback to
the fedora-test-list(a)redhat.com  if you have issues with this update.


Regards,
Dan.

Just to point out that the update made no substantial difference in my
case.  The system doesn't crash but X still fails to start.

with this package my system with a ATI X700 card is no longer able to 
start X at all , i had to boot in runlevel 3 after upgrade, if i boot in 5 
the system freezes immediately.
on my Laptop with a ATI V5200 Card X crashes every 2-3 time i start a AVI 
playback. With a Intel Card in a 3 system it works fine for me .
