Sorry, should have been more specific. On the graphics package front, there
have been no ATI or Intel X11 driver updates in F11 so far. Mesa was last
updated 14th of June. Not sure about DRM as that is in the kernel and may
have been updated with kernel updates.
Yes, clear bug reports are needed but they also need the follow through
to a fix and updated packages.
