I found the upgrade a bit of a pain, it crapped out twice (mysql and
something pythony), but that could be because my system is heavily hacked.
I'm going to wait for Planet to be RH9 compatible before I upgrade at home,
so I dont know if those machines will be OK (there less crufty).

I did the upgrade to get Xrandr, which is fantastic. Now I just need to
hack a little toolbar dingus to flip between LCD and projector res.

nVidia have XFree 4.3 support in thier latest driver bundle, I haven't
tried to see if suspend to ram is working again.
