Bug 699026

I haven't tried the 32 bit live CD image yet, so I'm not sure if this bug is architecture specific or not.  If you want, I will do so.

Since this was a live image, I didn't even check yum update yet.  There's an update to this driver.  I'll test it shortly.

power management:

Installed the x86_64 version of the F15 beta to disk, yum updated the relevant libdrm, mesa-* and xorg-* packages.  Rebooted, and problem still exists. 

Tried the work-around suggested in the Ubuntu bug in addition to installing 2.14.0-5 and that does mitigate the problem.  Though you can see the extra repaint needed to keep the menu from corrupting.

Next step is for me to try 2.15.0

Updated to 2.15.0 and removed the xorg.conf, and the problem disappeared completely, with no obvious repaint or other performance issues.

Fixed SRPM: http://www.deepgroove.org/rpm/xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.15.0-1.fc15.src.rpm

p.s.: I didn't correctly update %changelog in the spec for that srpm, sorry!
