Thanks for the update, I would hate to think that FC10 has gone into maintenance 
mode before FC11 is even out. A kernel upgrade or even driver upgrade would be 
nice, Fedora kernels aren't usually stock kernel.org anyway, anyone who ever 
though of building from source and then saw the dozens of patches instead of a 
usable tarball knows that. Maybe the drivers could go in, because the 
performance of vesa mode rots, and the stability of the radeon or fglrx drivers 
leaves much to desire on several of my machines.
