Firefox and Opera work. The same is true for a lot of programs which come with linux_base-fc4 (they didn't worked without the patch when osrelease was set to 2.6.16). So it isn't totally broken. What it buys us is reports about more programs which may work or not. For those which don't, we may get a report about an open source program which fails. And knowing about a broken program where can get the source and compile a debuggable version would help in debugging a lot. ATM Roman can only do a rough guess what's wrong.
