No useful information, but I (finally after about 8 hours of banging my
head against a wall) managed to get F10 installed on this laptop and
fully updated to rawhide over the weekend.  After about 45 minutes of
use X froze hard.  No mouse, not keyboard, no nothin'.  I didn't turn on
anything but defaults on the Beta installer and yum update.

I gave up and booted back into F9 since I do all my work on this thing.
But if there is someway I might be able to collect something useful let
me know!
