I believe Fedora 12 enables kernel modesetting by default (ie modesetting is done in the kernel driver rather than in the X driver). The radeon driver has been modified to work with kernel modesetting, but you need to disable KMS at boot time if you want to use radeonhd. IIRC the correct way to disable kernel modesetting is to add radeon.modeset=0 to your boot string. -----Original Message----- From: Robb Watson [mailto:robb@y42.net] Sent: Friday, November 20, 2009 5:45 PM To: radeonhd@opensuse.org Subject: [radeonhd] 0x9614:0x1043:0x834D: ASUS M4A78T-E Hi, Sorry to bother you - I installed 64 bit Fedora 12 and then added radeonhd... after a reboot and the startup screen, the monitor goes basically white with a few vertical pink stripes. Looks like something got overwritten :-(. At this point I couldn't see any response to mouse input. I was able to escape with control + alt + f2. My radeon chipset on an ASUS motherboard. The Xorg log told me to send you email:
