Hi all,
Xorg 6.8.x is not stable on my Radeon Mobility 9000. I get hangs, display corruption, screen and font artifacts, to the point where the system is not useable. Its random too. I went for three days, then I had to reboot, bam, problems all day. I've bugzilla'ed at Red Hat and Xorg. I'm not using the transparency feature either.
How does one downgrade X? My X does not work at all after the update from rawhide today.
I am using NVIDIA hardware
Summary:
Driver Symptom ------ ------------------------------------------------------ Radeon Screen and font artifacts, display corruption, hangs. fgrlx Driver=3.12 Works fine until a 3D app is launched or gnome-font-properties is run, bam, XServer reset.
No problems with either driver with 6.7.0.

The symptoms seem to be the same regarding the i810 card. You still get X killed when ctl-alt-Fn to a terminal while X has focus. This is at 1024x768 at 24 depth and DRI is enabled.
1400x1050 works good at 24 depth for me, no DRI. I dare not drop to 16 depth yet at higher resolutions that disable dri.
No need to drop back on X for this yet for the 815 card, unless you could not work around prior problems with the last release candidate.
With another graphics card installed and trying out s-c-display, I could not get the radeon and dual-head to configure. Also, with the two cards installed (internal 815 and Radeon 7200 PCI) I could not get the 815 to go to resolutions above 800x600. Is this a normal side-effect of having multiple video cards installed? Or was the higher resolution cut back for the 815 card? To change resolutions w/ both cards installed, I have to replace xorg.conf w/ previously configuration files for higher resolutions.
