(EE) RADEON(0): Idle timed out, resetting engine... ... and then it dies. Ben, is this expected behaviour if the kernel and X disagree about the use of dynamic clocks? Is this addressed by one of the patches you have outstanding at http://gate.crashing.org/~benh/xorg/ ? The second problem with the PB5,3 is that rhpl explicitly specifies 800x600 instead of letting X honour the DDC information. I can see that rhpl has code to parse this, but it doesn't seem to be doing so...
