Just struck me - of course you have the mesa drivers loaded, according
to you XFreeconfig, the radeon drivers are commented out, i assume to
relieve the lockup issue you were having. Earlier I saw you had tried
to install the fire gl drivers and got the error about a conflict with
mesa, try to install the firegl drivers rpm with the --force option,
then run the fglrxconfig to create a new XFreeconfig file for you (or
do it manually)...that should help you get some meaningful
information in your XFree Error log if there is in fact still a
problem. For me with the 9700 pro (only 2D support provided by
fedora) things didn't really start to click until after a kernel
recompile with agpart and radeon as loadable modules. Unfortunately
I have to work from memory here as the box I did this on was for a
friend and I don't have ready access to it.
I'm assuming that the "you" in your post is me, as I was having lockup
problems.
I don't recall trying to install firegl drivers; the XF86Config file I
posted at the start has been superceded. The file itself was either deleted
or modified and saved as XF86Config-4. I removed (rpm -e) the Mesa drivers;
what's there now was installed by the ATI rpm itself.
Considering the number of things I needed to do to get things working, I'd
reluctant to recompile the kernel. Perhaps I'll try it anyway, both the
current stock version with the modules and a 2.6.1 version. But it took me
so long to get sound on this machine (whine)...
