Hi
I am getting the same problem so I tried to install everything besides the Hal rpm. After the kernel update X don't allow me to log in I can load the redon driver now but everytime I click on my user X restarts. Now I don't know if hal will fix this.
Will it be worth waiting for the next reales or fors the hal update?
Chris

this current package problem?  as, not surprisingly, i'm in the same
situation.
