You were right. the problem with udev concerns the timer broadcast for
the amd processors. the
linux-2.6-x86-32-amd-c1e-force-timer-broadcast-late.patch corrected
this. I tried it with 2.6.26.3-17.fc9 and 2.6.27-0.290.rc5.fc10 and
everything is fine. the udev starts normally. so i can close the first
bug. Now about the kernel modesetting:

with the patch applied and nomodeset at the command line the kernel
loads fine until the time for the xserver to start. then i get a blank
screen. just nothing. here are the specs for my card:

integrated Radeon Xpress 1100 on acer aspire laptop.

According to the x.org this should be RS482 card but it is reported as RS485

#lspci -nnn
01:05.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc RS485
[Radeon Xpress 1100 IGP] [1002:5975]

It is an integrated display. No external one attached.

here is my xorg.conf
