 	I have the same hardware on F11, and the same problem.

 	You can see I have slightly more recent versions than you do.  My 
understanding is that Fedora 12 has a version of xorg that supports this 
hardware (I think they refer to it as version 1.7), but I haven't tried it 
myself.  I'm kind of busy at the moment, and will most likely wait for 
Fedora 13.
