This is not correct, because you are testing by using a modified Fedora Core, please test with the vanilla kernel soup I suggested in previous comment; by making the same tests we can say if there is a difference in our findings.

When I tested your FC12 mix I got a Xorg crash before desktop display, and this is currently the only discrepancy in our single common experience (same hardware+same software, but different results). I will try again with your suggested mix next weekend (I can't before because I don't have the hard disk where fedora is).

There have been also other people using the vanilla kernel and reporting the font rendering glitch after applying the 855nolid.patch; I think that by trying with the vanilla kernel mix that I am using you will confirm this findings, e.g. a font garbled display. Perhaps FC13 kernel has another patch which fixes also this, and we yet have to identify it, so that is why you are not getting this rendering issue.

Thanks
