Description of problem: intel 855GM video chipset and xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.7.0-7.fc11.i586 not working correctly on F11. All videos (youtube, fish-fillets, etc)scramble the video across the screen of my Dell d400 latitude with intel 82852/855GM video chipset. Never had a video problem in any of the previous Fedoras I have had on this machine (FC5, FC6, FC7 and F9). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): running with xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.7.0-7.fc11.i586 (My F9 installation had xorg-x11-drv-i810) How reproducible: always. Steps to Reproduce: Play a video (e.g., youtube in Firefox) on a machine with the intel 82852/855GM video chipset. Video will scramble all over the screen. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: I have googled this a bit and there's a rumor(?) going around that the xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.7.0-7.fc11.i586 driver does not support intel 82852/855GM. If so, how do we switch back to the older driver? Can this not be automated?

Other ways of generating the problem of garbled video memory: Start GIMP and try grabbing a section of the screen. Load a pdf in xpdf >xpdf foo.pdf
Yup, Setting Option "Tiling" "False" in the "Device" section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf did the trick! :-) RR
