Hi,
I'm currently trying to find a way to get F12 or Rawhide to work with
my radeon r770 (4850) based card in a useful way. So far booting them
just freezes my system and using "nomodeset" results in a desktop so
slow i can see the windows being redrawn from top to bottom.
I'm trying all this with F12 and nightly live-cd releases. The system
is actually running F11 right now which works great with this card out
of the box.
My question is does anybody with an r7xx card have similar problems
and/or knows a way to get the driver in post F11 versions to work the
same way it does in F11? At the moment there seems to be no upgrade
path for me with the apparent changes made to the radeon driver.
I filed a bug about this but it would be great if somebody knew a
workaround to at least get the same mileage out of F12/Rawhide that I
get out of F11 (i.e. disable KMS support but still get reasonable
peformance in X).

Could you add on your bug report your smolt profile and the dmesg output
from F11.
My smolt profile can be found here:
http://www.smolts.org/client/show/pub_d3abe799-fc48-4b2e-9366-9cf035a6e7b4
Where should I put this information? In the wiki entry for the device or is
there some other way to attach files to the profile?
Can you disable the onboard graphics card in the bios?
I think I can only set some sort of priority which device gets probed first
but I'll take another look the next time I reboot the machine.
Regards,
Dennis
