Description Hans Ulrich Niedermann 2009-12-04 01:04:40 UTC

Description of problem:

  radeonhd does not support kernel modesetting (KMS). Upstream will 
  not add KMS support anytime soon.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

  All radeonhd version up to at least 1.3.0

Comment 1 Hans Ulrich Niedermann 2009-12-04 01:08:30 UTC

radeonhd does not support KMS.

Therefore (starting from xorg-x11-drv-radeonhd-1.3.0-4.2.20091204git), radeonhd refuses to start when KMS is active.

If you want KMS, use the radeon driver from the xorg-x11-drv-ati package which is loaded by default on Fedora.

If you want radeonhd, disable KMS.
