In my case, a problem is that the radeon driver 
is using the preferred frequency, 135 Mhz,
even though it is greater than the maximum frequency, 130 MHz.

So far as I can tell Fedora 11 isn't even trying to start X.
For some reason, it hangs before it gets there,
but when I start X from an alternate console,
I just get a messy screen, nothing resembling an image.
