Interesting, though, I got that key off the web site for the alpha, and it's in 
my personal keyring, some time when I want to spend a lot of time on something I 
probably won't use I'll figure out where that key needs to be, since I don't 
have a usable FC11 machine (both installed the alpha but when I do the upgrade 
they hang solid).

Not critical, the newer kernel seems to use my display no better than the old.
