That's fine and dandy, but it isn't on topic on this mailing 
list.  The list is full of off topic junk that makes it hard to 
follow the few actual development discussions that occur here.  
Rather than just unsubscribe from the list due to the low S/N 
ratio, I prefer to tell people to take their off topic questions 
to alternate lists where they belong, and try to increase the 
actual amount of real developmental discussion here.

It may or may not be a Fedora "issue", however it is not a Fedora 
Core development issue.  Send bug reports to bugzilla, send end 
user technical support requests to fedora-list, send XFree86 help 
requests to xfree86-list.

The only way your message has any relevance on this list, is if 
you are sitting in the gdb debugger, single stepping through the 
video driver, and trying to determine why DRI is not working from 
the development side of things.

That is the right place for such discussions yes, but not here.  
If you decide however to debug the X server, be sure to play with
