Description of problem: On a tohiba Laptop with Radeon Xpress 200M inside it. The install in normal graphical resolution wasn't possible, the screen is plenty of artifact. I installed fedora 11 in low graphical mod but on reboot the screen was again plenty of artifact. I launched fedora 11 on runlevel 3 and edit the xorg.conf and try booth ati and radeon drivers but none of them did work. Finaly just the vesa can display something but with a wrong resolution 00:00.0 Host bridge: ATI Technologies Inc Device 5a31 (rev 01) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: ATI Technologies Inc RS480 PCI Bridge 00:13.0 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB400 USB Host Controller 00:13.1 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB400 USB Host Controller 00:13.2 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB400 USB2 Host Controller 00:14.0 SMBus: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB400 SMBus Controller (rev 11) 00:14.1 IDE interface: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB400 IDE Controller 00:14.3 ISA bridge: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB400 PCI-ISA Bridge 00:14.4 PCI bridge: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB400 PCI-PCI Bridge 00:14.5 Multimedia audio controller: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB400 AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02) 00:14.6 Modem: ATI Technologies Inc SB400 AC'97 Modem Controller (rev 02) 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS400 [Radeon Xpress 200M] 02:04.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc.

Same here with slightly different hardware: 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RC410 [Radeon Xpress 200M] 00:00.0 Host bridge: ATI Technologies Inc Device 5a31 (rev 01) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: ATI Technologies Inc RS480 PCI Bridge 00:14.0 SMBus: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB400 SMBus Controller (rev 82) 00:14.3 ISA bridge: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB400 PCI-ISA Bridge (rev 80) 00:14.4 PCI bridge: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB400 PCI-PCI Bridge (rev 80) Running Fedora 11 i386. There are plenty of artifacts, but X actually hangs everytime with both Anaconda when loading the graphical stage(ie. post media check and install media select) and post-install when loading GDM. How can I provide more information?
I tested all the xorg.conf options for radeon driver mentioned in the Fedora 11 Common Bugs at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F11_bugs#radeon-misc-gfx : nomodeset Option "AccelMethod" "XAA" Option "AccelDFS" "off" None of those worked for me (neither together nor separately) and only differed in the kind of artifacts on the dislpay when X hung.
