So I followed suggestions and upgraded w/o problems. ATI Radeon (AGP), AK-77/400 (Max/N) Mobo, AMD 180MHz (220PR). (--) PCI:*(1:0:0) ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV100 QY [Radeon 7000/VE] rev 0, Mem @ 0xd8000000/27, 0xe1000000/16, I/O @ 0xc000/8 I Did yum update of up2date, yum update of yum. Rebooted. Updated kernel. Installed all updates *except* everything start with "X" (actually, anything I could ID as coming from X-org and a few extras just to be sure), reboot, removing the rhgb. Install all the rest, reboot normally. Not one problem yet. I know the 64 bit machines seed to report the most (only?) problems.
