Don't forget to file a bug report against the newer version. It concerns 
me that the newer version would bomb out as badly as it has with some 
users. I assumed the problems were corrected and the less buggy version 
of X would be used and patched for the security update.
I have an Intel 815 which I can test out later with the new version of X.
