Description of problem: At different times during the install, the video slows down and seems to hang. The mouse moves *very* slowly and is only updated every few seconds. There are random artifacts and text appears in the wrong place. Changing to a console and back, sometimes more than once, clears it up temporarily. Additional info: 533mhz Celeron 196MB RAM intel 440bx chipset S3 Savage/IX video card
Does X work fine after installation?
No, same symptoms. I'm going to try adding the NoAccel and shadowFB options to xorg.conf to see if that helps. With FC1, I had to use one of those options to get the card to work reliably, and shadowFB was the faster of the two.
Can you attach an uncompressed Xorg logfile along with your current xorg.conf.

I've now been using this system for an hour with the shadowFB option, with no problems.
Reassigning to X. Either the bug needs fixing or the driver needs to default to shadowFB

Setting status to "NEEDINFO", awaiting results of testing with xorg-x11 from rawhide.
Please test xorg-x11 6.8.2 from fc3-testing, and update the report to indicate wether the problem still exists or not. If the problem persists, please follow the instructions in comment #9 above, and we'll track the issue upstream as well. Thanks in advance.
