Thanks, The only solutions to this problem, is to wait until XFree86 4.3.0 is released and integrated into a new Red Hat Linux release, or to install the rawhide XFree86, rawhide kernel, and various other rawhide dependancies. Rawhide is not recommended for production systems, and not supported. Note that this problem is not an XFree86 bug, but is a bug in the laptop itself, which is worked around by some driver workarounds since Dell won't release updated BIOS that fixes this bug in their BIOS. -- Mike A.
