I forced rpm to load the previous packages, then I erased the newer xorg packages (6.8.2-1.FC3.13.) I should probably have done that in the opposite order. But, I'm now running with 2 processors enabled, no hyperthreading, in a gnome-terminal under X11. So something about the newer xorg packages disagreed with my dual processor system. BTW, I tried enabling hyperthreading again with the second processor disabled. Inexplicably, this time, the system locked up once I brought up X. I could have sworn that that worked correctly with the 6.8.2-1.FC3.13 packages. Thanks for the responses. --Seth
