I'm really getting confused here.  I think I figured out how to get the
bluetooth mouse to come back up, but now find that radeontool and vbetool
are no longer present on the system.  It looks like they should be part of
my pm-utils package, but they aren't there.  And yum info pm-utils is
turning up info for pm-utils-0.99.3-6.fc7 once for installed, three times
for fedora repo, with three different package sizes.  What's going on?
