Comment 1 Mike A. Harris 2004-07-05 22:49:38 UTC
It is recommended to upgrade to Fedora Core 2 and test your
hardware out with the latest release.

Setting bug status to "CURRENTRELEASE".  If the problem continues
to persist using Fedora Core 2 however, please reopen the report
and attach your /var/log/messages, X server log file and config file
as individual uncompressed file attachments, and we can reinvestigate
this issue.

Thanks for the report.
