Furthermore, manually selecting the proper card in
redhat-config-xfree86 causes system lock-ups in a random fashion.

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

n/a

How reproducible:

highly reproducible, unfortunately :-(

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start redhat-config-xfree86
2. Select proper videocard
3. Click on the color depth button
4. Try clicking on 'millions of colors'

Actual results:

System locks up (even Caps Lock light doesn't work)

Expected results:

System works flawlessly, entertains the user with latest advances in
computer graphics :-)

Comment 2 Mike A. Harris 2004-10-09 23:24:48 UTC
Radeon 9200/9600/9800, and the Pro, SE, and XT variants of these
are now officially supported in Fedora Core 2 and later OS releases.

Once you've upgraded to Fedora Core 2 or later, this hardware should
be automatically detected and configured.  If you experience problems
with the "radeon" driver in Fedora Core 2, please file a bug report
in the X.Org bugtracker located at http://bugs.freedesktop.org in
the "xorg" component.
