sounds prominsing, my mythtv box is running stock FC5, I had tried an 
early pre-FC6T1 kernel with updataed Xorg, but that was before the 
r300/mesa-dri fixes were pulled in, I keep meaning to try out a recent 
rawhide kernel/mesa/x with cvs myth to see how it's new openGL frontend 
performs ... need to do some fiddling with LVM to clear myself space for 
  a separate root parition for FC6 first though ...
