1) the stock FC12/FC13 kernels already have some patch which fixes the kernel for this hardware, since I can boot successfully with 'nomodeset' and start Xorg, while on my vanilla 2.6.32/2.6.33 I can't boot at all without 'nomodeset'

2) the FC13 kernel (2.6.33-rc8) + 855nolid.patch (J.Barnes small patch about LID on 855GM) can boot but Xorg crashes before the loading screen finishes loading, so I never reach the login manager

So now I think it is necessary to identify which Red Hat patches are fixing kernel's DRM so that recent Xorg can work, perhaps I'll need another bug tracker

Anyone?
