I'm using the ATrpms repo, stable release. Perhaps it hasn't made it
through to there yet.

I'm running an nVidia card - Gigabyte GV-N52128DS nVIDIA GeForce
FX5200 so it should be using pretty stable and up to date drivers from
ATrpms. It's only 128MB so do you think that could be the problem -
just too weedy a card? I don't have any other issues with X so I'd be
surprised if it's an X-server config issue.
