The radeonhd only detects R5xx/R6xx based cards, so radeonhd is not an alternative for the radeon driver unless you happen to have a card which is in the overlap of the supported list. Reading the man page for radeonhd(4), it says that the driver doesn't yet support 2-D acceleration! So I suspect that may have more to do with its apparent stability for you than it being a different driver. As so far it seems that all the hanging problems we've seen appear to have something to do with 2-D acceleration. Strangely, I had been using the original radeon driver (without disabling any features) for about 2 weeks and it has not hung on me like it used to do frequently. I had started X via startx command, and not run level 5. (Incidentally, startx seems to work fine except it doesn't pick up any customized key mappings. I for instance set my caps lock to be ctrl. Starting via gdm uses my settings, but via startx does not... any ideas?) However I finally rebooted today (into run level 5) and then Xorg hung within 5 minutes...I wasn't even using the mouse, I just had a single terminal window open that was tail'ing a log file (and hence was scrolling text on its own). There were a lot of X and Gnome related RPM updates pushed today for Fedora 9; so I installed them all and will see if that makes any difference. -- Deron Meranda -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
