There is a bug report for DRI module 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=193276
It was reported to be fixed in rawhide, but I did not have a chance to 
test it. Hopefully it will be fixed in FC6 which is not far away.
This bug was reported for i386 architecture, but could be architecture 
independent.
