happy is relative - though I am using nVidia drivers at the moment, I
still occasionally get the black screen of death w/ beryl (yeah, lousy
mb video) - I have given up beryl for the present.
$ rpm -qa|grep nvidia
kmod-nvidia-96xx-1.0.9639-1.2.6.22.4_65.fc7
and I yanked out an ATI agp video card because I couldn't get that to
work w/ the ATI drivers at all (I didn't try their latest release).
In the end though, I am pretty happy with 24 bit color in 2d and xorg's
got Intel covered anyway.
