Hi,

I've forwarded this to the list. I don't think it got through because I 
joined the list shortly after sending it.

Hi Dan,

Sorry I should have thought of that myself. It's an Intel 2200 using
the default driver with the latest kernel. I have FC5 Test 3 fully
updated. It not a problem for me but it would nice to confirm and fix
before FC5 is released. Fedora is released so quickly I guess that's
overly optimistic. 

If I can be of further assistance please don't hesitate to ask.

Rob.
