Hey Tom,

Glad to hear that work is being done on this.  Where is the best place
to post info concerning this?  Bugzilla?  Is there FC specific code
that is changing here, or is there work being done upstream (or both)?
As this seems to only affect some hardware, perhaps some info about
your hardware setup (motherboard and cpu) should be included too.
How are you comparing the sources?  Just downloading the .src.rpm's
and extracting them?  I'd like to look at the code that has changed to
possibly see what is going on.  Not that I'd probably understand it,
but it would be interesting : ).
Yes, last I checked, those are the latest kernels, if memory serves
(sure about the FC2 one, FC3 looks right).
