Whoops! Didn't find this request until now. In the process of trying to install nVIDIA drivers from livna.org, this installation crashed. It never recovered well, producing an unusable system due to SELinux errors and issues. I found the best course was to wipe the drive and install FC6. Sorry about the long delay. Dan
OK, so I assume that it means you are not able to help us with ATI drivers (reopen , please, if I am wrong).
Consider this a re-open then. I am available to help in any way I can. I can re-install FC5 on a spare drive. Once that is done, I will post the above mentioned information. However, Would you rather have an FC5 or an FC6 install to play with first? Either will take just about as long, so there is not much of a difference to me. Dan

Considering the question in comment 4 -- I guess comment 5 answer this. Please, go ahead and try to reproduce this bug in FC6. If you will manage to do so, please attach all the information required in comment 1. Thank you
Reporter, could you please reply to the previous question? If you won't reply in one month, I will have to close this bug as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Thank you.
No information requested provided, no joy for anybody -- closing this bug as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Reporter, if you could, please, reopen with additional information.
