Just wait.  ;-)    I'm using the RealOne alpha under RHL 9 and Severn w/o 
issues and no special parms but I've heard it can work better w/ 
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL.

I think LD_ASSUME_KERNEL along w/ en_US instead of UTF became two very 
popular suggestions in the past few years. I'm not ever sure the kernels 
were ~more~ to blame than the developers of the third-party bits BTW.

I thought there was a freshrpms mailing list but I could be mistaken. Try 
fedora.us and their Severn repository.
