so far the installation of FC6 has gone relatively smoothly albeit some 
additional learning and bumps due to the 64 bit architecture of this 
machine.

The mother board is an Intel DG965RYCK which uses Intel's 965 express 
chipset.  Based upon what I've been able to find on the web, Intel has 
released the drivers for this chipset to OSS, although there have been 
issues as to what Intel actually released and how complete they might be.

Regardless I unable to run mplayer (or Realplayer) for that matter 
without the display first freezing then going black followed by garbage 
along the bottom of the screen.  A Control-Alt-Backspace does not stop X 
from running.  The only way to recover the machine from this point is to 
reboot the system.  I am still able to connect from a remote system, its 
just the display that has become unstable.

lspci -v shows the following for the graphics adapter
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation  Integrated 
Graphics Controller (rev 02) (prog-if 00 [VGA])
        Subsystem: Intel Corporation Unknown device 514d

suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks
