Simon, downgrade to 4.3.0-2. I originally had the same issue where it was sucking up 99% of one of my cpu's when moving windows ( especially across monitors ). I'm guessing that there is extra code in 4.3.0-10 that isn't referenced in the radeon driver that was provided here, so it causes an issue ( that's just speculation). using 4.3.0-2 seems to clear it up, atleast for me. rpm -Uvh XFree86*.rpm --oldpackages ( get them off the cd ) -Aaron On Wednesday 21 May 2003 8:09 pm, Simon O'Malley wrote: > HI > > I have been browsing the list with interest trying to fix my redhat 8 > Xinerama display. > > It was working fine with 4.2.99, but I made some upgrades to get gnome > 2.2 working. > > Since then it has been hell.
