Hi Steven,

I tied sending you the screenshot comparison between both Fedora and 
Ubuntu yesterday but unfortunately the mail bounced as it seems your 
SMTP server didn't accept it. They best illustrate the problem as the 
shrinking of standard screen area is more then evident!

With Ubuntu I was put in the direction of a later driver version for 
Xorg, is there something similar to that in Fedora which I could grab 
from yum like with Ubuntu as it was a repo where I could just apt-get it???

Many thanks,

Kaya
