There is one bug that I'm experiencing with kernels later than
kernel-2.6.9-1.681_FC3 in which a computer with either a i810 or the
computer with the Radeon card will lock up the machine randomly. An easy
trigger for the problem is to change to a virtual terminal, then switch
back to the GUI.
This is an excerpt of the last few Xorg.0.log before the crashing of the
computer. (no response from keyboard, garbage on top line of display, no
activity, but the pre-crash information is still on the display.

If a nation values anything more than freedom, it will lose its freedom;
and the irony of it is that if it is comfort or money it values more, it
will lose that, too.
