ATI Radeon support

[Mike Chambers]

I just bought a new Radeon X1300 and X fails to run on the radeon
driver, and has to use vesa, although it *seems* to detect what type
card it is.  Is this card supported or is using vesa the only way it's
supported?

Matthious, does your freshrpms kmod stuff support fc7t2+rawhide or just
fc6?

That's an R515-based card. http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/ATIRadeon
Everything >=R500 is not supported by the radeon driver (not even for 
unaccelerated 2D), this includes the X1300 and everything with a higher model 
number. So yes, you have to use vesa, or the evil proprietary driver. You 
should have bought an X850 or lower instead, these even have 3D support now 
(but a bit experimental for everything >=R300, i.e. >9250).

The names printed by anaconda are just from the PCI IDs list.  We're
quite capable of knowing what kind of card something is without having a
specialized driver for it.

vesa only for R500 cards, atm.  You should let AMD know how important
open source graphics support is to you.

Sigh.  I really, really, loathe vesa.

I _think_ I have this sorted out in 1.3.0-5, which should be out
tomorrow.  Please test and yell at me if it doesn't work.

It worked, except it didn't automatically detect and create xorg.conf.  I
had to run system-config-display.

Drivers don't change xorg.conf, ever.  If you had one already, it should
have worked.  Even if you didn't have an xorg.conf, it should have
worked.

I removed it before I rebooted, to pretend it was new and it bailed. ;)

Ick.  Can you attach the log from running without xorg.conf to the bug please?
