Hi John,
My F12 worked perfectly on my ATI Technologies Inc RV350 AS [Radeon
9550] with no xorg.conf from the first day.
After couple of updates compiz started crashing and xrandr stopped
recognizing settings properly. I used xorg.conf for a while only as a
work around.
Now after couple of recent udpates, I found that it works fine again
with no xorg.conf except I need to xrandr -s 0 to restore settings for
my display and I had to edit settings for compiz to make it work
properly again.

Subject: f12 updates kernel nomodeset option breaks radeon
Date: Sun, 29 Nov 2009 16:27:59 -0800
After updates today my radeon driver does not start properly if the
kernel nomodeset option is used.
The X log has a message :
"Couldn't find valid PLL dividers"
Good news though in other areas :
--I can shell into the machine with ssh, it's not a hard crash.
--If I set up the kernel with "rhgb quiet" and do not use the
"nomodeset" option X starts up normally.
--I no longer need an xorg.conf with "XAA" accel enabled to prevent X
crashes. EXA seems to be working reliably now. (I previously reported
that
www.newegg.com and
wiki.centos.org were crashing X with EXA enabled.)
EXA seems stable with kernel modesetting though...great!
