having problems with X on Fedora 7, these are problems I did not have
with FC6.
The big problem is X is locking up, the system continues to run and it
accessable via the network, but a CTRL-ALT-BKspace does not restore the
X session.
I found in the /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old the following:

The motherboard is an Intel DG965RY with a built in video card lspci
reports the VGA controller as:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82G965 Integrated
Graphics Controller (rev 02)
I believe one of the screen savers is triggering the bug as it just
started happening after I loaded a bunch of screensavers and set it to
randomly choose one, plus it only happens when the system brings up a
screensaver.
In addition I have noticed that I can not play video's with mplayer
which by default uses xv (?) unless I specify "-vo x11" in FC6 I didn't
have this issue.
I'm guessing that F7 is using a modified or new version of the Intel
graphics driver. Any way to either load the version from FC6 or specify
the equivalent driver in Fedora 7?
