Hi, I've installed F-12 beta on my new laptop with ati radeon hd 4570 graphic card, I was going to file new bug. With kms enabled, everything is really sloooow, with 'nomodeset' it's much faster. I can't say exactly "how" slow it is, is there anything I can use for measuring? Michal btw, mesa-dri-drivers-experimental does not work at all for me (glx apps segfault)
To Michal Hlavinka, Hi, in Fedora 12, KMS for R600/R700 is an experimental features. The next mainline kernel, 2.6.32 will official support KMS of R600/R700.
Xorg still does not release opensource drivers for R600/R700 to run 3D program. Mesa-dri-drivers-experimental is just a testing package. It can run compiz. But compiz is easy to crash with this dri-drivers. Believe that, Fedora developers still work hard for opensource ati driver. Please wait a moment. 3D acceleration is coming soon.

I have upgraded the latest packages from Rawhide, including xorg-x11-drv-ati and some components of X. It looks quite good. Glxgears performance grows from about 640 fps to more than 1000 fps. Gnome-terminal is more smooth but not perfect.
I found other problems in Fedora 12. I do not know whether they are related to ATi KMS and opensource dirvers or not.
First Problem:
Adobe flash player seems to take up too much cpu usage. It makes machine run slow. If I open too many web page full of flash, no matter in chromium or in firefox, It is too slow. I almost can not do anything. Firefox looks a little better than chormium. maybe there is a bug of chromium , or adobe flash player or ATi's driver. I can not make sure. I test on another desktop (NVIDIA card). It looks better. CPU usage is still very high, however, flash player runs enough smoothly. And then, Tom 'spot' Callaway has not pushed a new upgrade for chromium browser. But I do not want to disturbing him. I just wait for him silently. Haha!
Second Problem:
I try to hibernate my desktop. Later I wake them up. The brightness of LCD screen is not normal. It is too low. I nearly can not see what is it in the screen. I switch to tty console. It is the same with GUI environment. My screen is LG L1953T 19" inch flat screen. Is the bug related to ATi drivers?
At last, Thanks to developers again.

How's this with the 'nomodeset' parameter?

Try running this command after resuming:
xgamma -r 1.0
does that do the trick?

There is a reason for the delay:

The good news is that there is a workaround fix now, so as soon as the last package finishes building (I've already done smoke tests on F-11 and F-12), there will be newer chromium packages in the repo. No idea if it fixes your problem or not, Flash is proprietary software, I can't debug it, much less fix it.

Thank you for your command. Will RGB Gamma value be set 1.0 in the final release? I think it needs.
And playing flashplayer in the web browser with Adobe Flash Player still has some blocks. Maybe flash player cause that problem. I just wait.

Thank you for hard work. Crhomium browser in Fedora 12 looks perfect. Is there any plan to push chromium into rawhide or updates-testing. I think chromium has enough stability to make more users test itself.

Not until Chromium comes out of beta and has a sane release model. Even then, it will be an uphill battle, and I'll probably have to petition FESCo for an exception. Not sure when that will be, but if I had to guess, I'd say it is closer to the F13 timeframe.
