I'm already running that (xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.12.2-17.fc11.x86_64,
which is the latest in koji).

But the oops is in *plymouth*, which as far as I can tell uses the
framebuffer interface, so it shouldn't matter what xorg driver I have
installed. Shouldn't it be impossible for a buggy framebuffer client
to cause an oops?
