The problem was that the xorg-x11-depreciated was not installed and had 
to be pulled in. Xorg-x11 was a wildcard and I used it to exclude 
xorg-x11 in much the same way as the kernel is easily selected, if desired.

Instead of the normal reply that these additional packages will be 
needed to satisfy deps, the error dialog box filled the screen.


Anyway, compiling the latest xorg-x11 from src worked out great for a 
machine that contains the 845 version of the i810 video driver. The 
latest version works great and does not crash.

For this computer, The i686 rpms worked great, except I had to use the 
i810 video driver from the version of the xorg-x11 that was on the FC3T1 
  CD. I didn't get a chance to try to apply the patch supplied with the bug.

Anyway, for that installation, the network won't resolve with any 
version of kernel. Is this the bind package that people are referring to?
