At least Radeon is affected as well.  An output from 'startx'
ends up with:
.....
finished all detect
before xf86InitialConfiguration
in RADEONProbeOutputModes

and it just sits there and has to be killed with 'kill -9'.

The catch is that it does not work.  The same behaviour.
Backing off to xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.3.0.0-24.fc8 allows me
to run 'startx' succesuflly although 'gdm' does not start.
I see a "busy" cursor on a blue background and that is it.
Replacing gdm with the previous version gdm-2.20.0-4.fc8
has no effect here.

Is there any bugzilla entry for that?
