You don't need the ForcePanel option anymore with latest trunk, although
you possibly need Option "ActiveDevice" "LCD".

As a side note, I've updated the Fedora 8, 9 and 10 packages. EL-5 will
follow in a couple of weeks.

If you have some time to test, Fedora 10 has some experimental patches
that could help with the various panel issues.
