I upgraded to F7 from FC6 and it appeared to run cleanly. I then
updated the system (303 packages) and that went cleanly. Everything
seems to be working, so far with one major exception. When my screen
saver kicks in it resets X. Even in the kcontrol when I select the
screen saver and it starts the preview it crashes X. I have looked in
my Xorg.0.log, messages and dmesg with nothing jumping out at me as a
probable cause.
Any clues from anyone?

More info...
Found this in the Xorg.0.log.old file
Backtrace:
0: /usr/bin/Xorg(xf86SigHandler+0x81) [0x80ceb41]

Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11. Server aborting
Also it appears to be associated with OGL programs. I tried Celestia and
Chess and both perform the same reset.
From a root terminal you could see if it is effected by SELinux by
running setenforce 0 followed by launching programs that may cause X to
sig 11.
Interestingly someone else is getting a similar error with an ATI card
as shown in the link to the Fedora Forum below:
