based on the grief i've been having over the last couple days with
the radeon driver (firefox locking up constantly, browsing certain

using the vesa driver and things seem to be working fine.
as a test, using the vesa driver, i browsed over to linux-kvm.org
and it displayed fine. i switched to the radeon driver, logged out of
X, logged back in, browsed to that site and ... boom! hard lockup.
switch back to vesa, no problem.
so, for the time being, i'll tolerate 1024x768 with a vesa driver
since it means i won't have to reboot every 10 minutes. and i'll
watch for new developments with the radeon driver.
$ rpm -q xorg-x11-drv-ati
xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.12.1-10.fc11.x86_64
FWIW Im running xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.12.1-10.fc11.x86_64
kernel-2.6.29.1-54.fc11.x86_64
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.6.0-19.fc11.x86_64
and not having any issues. its stable with dual 20" lcds each at 1680x1050

But what card? Anything slightly older is being bypassed and left to
rot (so it seems).
