I've added cross reference between the two bugs, not sure this is the correct way of linking them. Tried xorg-x11-6.8.2-1.FC3.34 on FC4T3-i386 mg550 Athlon64 Corrupt at F7, kdm/kde Corrupt at F1-6 but no green border Reverted to 6.8.2-1.FC3.13.i368 to be able to use the machine Over reaction !! Replaced all 18 xorg-x11 rpms on FC4T2 and FC4T3 (and probably FC4) !!!! with 6.8.2-1.FC3.13.i368 from FC3 - Problem fixed xorg bugs https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2991 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3094 There are going to be a lot of unhappy people with Matrox cards (mainly g550) when FC4 ships!
