  For the 96 kernel and my RV630 graphics and 
xorg-x11-server-utils-7.4-13.fc12.x86_64 I still have to user pcieasm=off.

  For the 97 kernel, pcieasm=off no longer works and I have to use 
nomodeset to get to a desktop.

Which bz covers this (these?) issue(s)?  There seems to be several 
speaking to ati and nvidia and kms sometimes all on the same bz.
