If you add alias radeon off to your modprobe.conf file, does X work again for you? Wonder how similar your prob is to this bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=230025
Craig, can we get also you /etc/X11/xorg.conf attached to this bug, please? Also, if you can try to run Xorg without any /etc/X11/xorg.conf whatsoever (it should automagically detect whatever is needed) and attach /var/log/Xorg.0.log as well. Thanks a lot.
Sorry for the delay...new, better job eating all my time :) I no longer have rawhide on that box, it's fc6. I waited until _after_ fc6 was released to update knowing I had filed this. However, I thought for sure this issue had just slipped through and I wanted/needed my machine. Would a xen rawhide guest be adequate to test from (same box/hardware)? if not, I suppose just closing this is best...sorry for the noise.
Please re-open if it anything further happens, I'm closing it as the reporter requested.
