I also see font rendering artifacts, mostly in Firefox, but in other apps as well. I blame the video driver, possibly the EXA acceleration, though I haven't tried XAA yet (per `man radeon`). I have an old ATI Radeon RV100 QY [Radeon 7000/VE] rev 0. It could be that your lockups have the same cause. -- ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' <mailto:tonynelson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ' <http://www.georgeanelson.com/> -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
