Oh, I forgot.
Do you have nvidia card and if you do, have you set your display driver to
nvidia instead of nouveau?
In that case you need updated nvidia kernel module kmod-
nvidia-2.6.31.12-174.2.22.fc12....... (for exampe my system module name is
kmod-nvidia-2.6.31.12-174.2.22.fc12.x86_64-190.53-1.fc12.5.x86_64)
You probably know it, but here's how to check it. Just run rpm -qa|grep nvidia
as root. I had this problem after updating my kernel.
I solved it by adding either atrpms or rpmfusion repository to yum, because
fedora don't have nvidia drivers.
