   Now, I used these after installing FC1, but I've been unable to get 
them (or any of the others that are around) working after the upgrade to 
2129.  I eventually had to resort to re-rolling my own using the normal 
installer.

   They install OK, but I can't start the X server due to the error 'no 
screens found'.

   I've had this before when trying to automtically detect at boot-up 
whether I've got the drivers for 'this' kernel, and compile accordingly. 
  Often I'll create a driver, reboot and get the 'no screens' error.

   I never got to the bottom of that, but it became less of an issue 
when I stopped having multiple kernels insrtalled.  Would be nice to get 
the RPMs going again, though.
