FC8, after "upgrade" they are really nasty to use in terms of video. Moving a windows leaves a comet trail of window outlines which take 1-2 seconds to clear, minimizing a window results in a trail of shrinking outlines, the minimize takes seconds and a few seconds after that for the outlines to fade.

Are you sure you haven't somehow ended up with the vesa driver now
selected ?

Thanks for the suggestion, but that doesn't seem to be the case. The xorg.conf is attached.

Check /var/log/Xorg.log instead to see what's REALLY loaded.

Thousands of lines of blather, telling me nothing other than it found the sis module, recognized the chipset, and generated a bunch of modelines using it, then found a vesa driver as well. If there's a way to tell which is being used other the xorg.conf I don't know it, but the requested module in xorg.conf is loaded by X. It didn't find "sisfb" and I find no mention of it in packages available, "xorg-x11-drv-sis.i386" and "xorg-x11-drv-sisusb.i38" packages are marked installed. "fbset.i38" and "xorg-x11-drv-fbdev.i386" packages are also installed, if that tells you more than it does me.

I guess the point is that I would hope the install would find something closer to what's needed, given that FC7 and FC8 were fine on this machine.
