Those are available from koji : http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=97202 http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=96839 1. rename xorg.conf to xorg.conf-backup 2. check grub.conf for "nomodeset" and remove it as needed (a backup of the original grub.conf is advisable as well) 3. reboot. You should be using the radeon driver in KMS mode. If that fails, boot without KMS (add nomodeset to the kernel command line). If that still fails, boot into runlevel 3 (add 3 to the kernel command line) and switch back grub.conf and xorg.conf to the original state. If this fails, please file a bug with Xorg.0.log and dmesg from KMS and non KMS attempts attached (uncompressed, text/plain please).
