This may be a dupe of bug 683687.
Still get problem with latest nightly of Fedora 15, Fedora-15-Nightly-20110518.06-i686-Live-desktop.iso. Only way to get boot (from live CD and after installing to harddisk) is by adding "nomodeset" to the kernel paremeters on boot.
In my opinion, this is not an Xorg issue, but something about gdm or gnome-session. Reassigning.
I'm pretty sure this is an Xorg issue with the driver and this specific graphics chip. Problem also reported here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/755791
Upstream freedesktop.org bug: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37679 In upstream bug have found that interrupts are not being generated for radeon in /proc/interrupts. Moved from gdm back to Xorg ati component.
I agree and believe that it is more appropriate to let it be resolved upstream. We will continue to track the issue in the centralized upstream bug tracker, and will review any bug fixes that become available for consideration in future updates. Thank you for helping to make free software better.
