One interesting post:

"I upgraded today to

kernel-2.6.31.6-142.fc12.i686
xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.13.0-0.12.20091119git437113124.fc12.i686

The kernel update did not seem to cause any change, but the radeon driver
update did caused one change, instead of getting a black background with
working mouse cursor, I instead get the fedora wallpaper with working mouse
cursor.

syslog is still getting filled with the same errors as before. "
