Already fixed in bug 500015 for Rawhide, this is a F11 clone.
But the actual version is xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.12.2-14.fc11.i586 and not xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.12.2-18.fc11.i586.
(In reply to comment #1) > Already fixed in bug 500015 for Rawhide, this is a F11 clone. This can't be a clone because it's still not fixed!
I made a fresh install of rawhide yesterday, and the card is working with xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.12.2-21.fc12.i686.rpm. And after that, i made a fresh install of Fedora-11 and the card is not working with xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.12.2-14.fc11.i586. So what can be the problem?

Yeah, I tested it with fc12(rawhide) and xf86-video-ati-6.12.4, it's ok. For fc11 and xf86-video-ati-6.12.4, it fails. even when successfully run xserver on fc12, it's fails open drm and then disable dri Therefore, just type Option "DRI" "off" in config file(xorg.conf) will make this issue workaround on fc11

This issue will only occur on RV670. on rawhide, xorg.0.log shows that drm open fails and then disable dri, which will force driver using shadow framebuffer. therefore, x server runs successfully Is there really some problems in drm for supporting rv670, or other reasons?
Can you try with a more up to date fedora 12, especialy newer kernel we pushed a bunch of fixes for R600/R700 hw.
Thanks Glisse I try this issue with kernel 2.6.32.rc3, it's OK now
So closing this bug, reopen if you experience similar issue with lastest fedora 12.
Isn't it a bug of Fedora 11?
The issue was on fedora 11 it's now fixed in fedora 12 (fix ain't easy to backport).
