This is a known bug with the Xvideo textured video extension which was fixed in the i810 X11 driver git tree. It hasn't been pushed to release yet and most distros haven't picked up the fix. If I were you I'd file a bug with Redhat. There's a bug on freedesktop.org that should detail the issue and the fix. > lspci -v shows the following for the graphics adapter > 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Integrated > Graphics Controller (rev 02) (prog-if 00 [VGA]) > Subsystem: Intel Corporation Unknown device 514d > Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 177 > Memory at 50200000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=1M] > Memory at 40000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M] > I/O ports at 3110 [size=8] > Capabilities: [90] Message Signalled Interrupts: 64bit- > Queue=0/0 Enable- > Capabilities: [d0] Power Management version 2 > > suggestions would be appreciated. > > Thanks >
