If you're using Red Hat supplied X drivers, and not using any 
kernel modules supplied from outside of Red Hat, please file a 
bug report against X, following the guidelines in the message I 
just responded to the original poster to this thread a couple

If you're using binary only drivers, or any non-redhat supplied 
kernel modules....  go bake cookies instead.  ;o)
