ATI nomodeset hang on boot

[David L]

I've been booting with the nomodeset option for several weeks
as a workaround for this bug:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=461801

After I updated today, I can't get a graphical login unless I remove
nomodeset.  The original bug is theoretically fixed, so I guess I
don't need nomodeset to work any more.  But unless I remove
nomodeset, I get a frozen garbled screen instead of a
graphical login.  I can ping the box and even ssh in, but X is
sucking 100% of the CPU.  Even after telinit 3, it remains at the
frozen screen.  I have to reboot to recover.

Thanks,

                    David
