Bug 187431

In order to diagnose problems of this nature, we need additional information
including:

- The video hardware you are using.

- Your X server log file and config file as individual uncompressed bugzilla
  file attachments of type text/plain

- Your kernel log including initial bootup through the point of failure.
  (If this log is more than a half a meg, please gzip it)


> As I say, this has been happening since I first installed FC4, 10 months ago
or so.
> Is this X? Is this gnome? Is this something else? I don't know. Sorry.

In order to determine what specifically is causing the problem, more
information is required.  It could be a video driver bug, an X server
bug, a kernel bug, a BIOS bug, a hardware glitch, or even things
unrelated to video at all, such as a buggy sound driver or other
hardware driver causing a conflict of some sort with a race condition.

Once you've provided the additional information requested, we can
review it and try to determine if anything obvious jumps out.  Usually
problems of this nature turn out to be video driver bugs or kernel
bugs, or a combination, but all of the possibilities I've mentioned
above have occured over time, so anything is ultimately possible.

Thanks in advance.
