Precisely, what are you plotting?
When I do
Plot[{x^2 - 1, 10*x*Exp[-x]},
{x, -1, 3}, PlotStyle ->
{Hue[0], Hue[0.3]}];
using Mathematica 5.0 on Mac OS 10.3.3 then select the resulting plot and position the cursor over the intersection point while holding down the command key, I see {1.95108, 2.84716}. (I got these by copying the values from the plot to the clipboard). As you can see, these are reasonably close to the values returned by FindRoot. The small difference is undoubtedly due to the my inability to precisely position the cursor over the intersecting point.
