NOW RESOLVED I had xorg-x11-6.8.2-37.FC4.48.1 which had a bug so bad that its shelf life was only six says before xorg-x11-6.8.2-37.FC4.49.2 was released. I had to completely remove all xorg-x11 packages using: rpm -e --allmatches --nodeps xorg-x* and reinstall them using: rpm -i *.rpm but it is working. Joseph D. Wagner
