> There are two things that immediately come to mind. The first is that you don't have the right driver for your graphics card. The symptoms you describe used to happen to me all the time, but in recent fedora releases, it's been pretty good at figuring out the right driver. You might need to tell folk what laptop you have and what kind of graphics it has.

Dell Inspiron 9400,
The setting says: Gallium 0.4 on ATI RV515 (1440 x 900)
I did not experience this issue on a fedora 16 (on the same laptop)

> The other possibility is that this is a desktop issue rather than a fedora issue. You will need to tell people what desktop you are using -- Gnome/KDE/LXDE, etc.

I am running gnome
