When you hit something like this, you can in fact file the bug against the X driver component, even though it's technically in the kernel, as the X driver maintainer is likely the one handling the kernel code, and more interested in it. At least, you can CC the maintainer on the bug. I'll add Ben to the CC for this bug. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
