Hi Dave-

I just upgraded to 2.6.11-1.27_FC3smp and don't have a problem
running with the 1.2b2 version.  It's probably not something
tied to the kernel, but more a problem with the video driver.
Was it ever working on this machine and if so, did it just
stop working when the kernel was upgraded?

What kind of video card is in this machine?  Are you running
a special driver for the card?

Sorry I'm not much help, but from the error, it looks like an
X'ish problem.
