@Jamie: You (and other ATI users) might look here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/fedora/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/348332.

I can confirm that both of the bug reports to which I recently linked (including the one just linked) have solved the problems for me. One of my machines uses xserver-xorg-video-ati, and another uses xserver-xorg-video-intel. As the bug report that I just linked suggests, the problems with my ATI machine were solved by upgrading to a 2.6.29 kernel. As the other bug report that I linked to in my previous comment suggests, the problems with my Intel machine were solved by increasing the "Virtual" size in my xorg.conf file and by applying Albert Damen's debdiff patch.

I think the reason why this particular bug that we're commenting on right now hasn't received much attention is that it is not at all specific, so it's hard for anyone to do anything about it. The specific reports I've mentioned should (hopefully) help Intel and ATI users, though.

As always, YMMV.
