This is a known bug. The Radeon 9800 (Pro) isn't really supported yet. I had to edit my XF86config manually, and enter "ChipID 0x4e46" in the devices section for the graphics-card. This tells X to assume a Radeon 9700, which actually is supported. No problems since then.

Another alternative would be to install XFree86 4.4.0, it seems. The Radeon 9800 (Pro/XT) is listed as supported there. I'll try that tonight, probably. I'll let you know if it works.
Kind regards Markus

Ok. Thanks.
But, the XFree 4.4.0 has a license problem (No GPL compliant) or has it been solved ?

Didn't know about this. But yes, it looks like they have changed their license. IMO it shouldn't bother standard users, tho. But please correct me, anyone, if that's wrong.

I have buit RPMS based on Fedora Development's XFree86 spec file, keeping all the non-conflicting changes (maybe a bit randomly, but at least trying hard).
If anyone needs the src.rpm or rpms and has an open ftp/http available, I can put them there.

But, It is ok for you to use.
If you read the fine print it is packagers and users like RH that are constrained. Just because the license is not RH friendly it is open source and end user friendly.
