Does anyone here run a system with ATI Radeon X850XT PCI-E and Dell 2405FWP plus FC5? I cannot get the installation panel to work. I tried boot: linux resolution=xxxxxx nofb without any luck Also,I cannot get the 'radeon' module to run properly. Any xorg.conf that works?

It seems I missed the "Or, you can do, as root user, system-config-display" phrase. Another strange thing is that 'system-config-display' shows the parameters that I need: it shows the correct LCD monitor and the correct video card. But these setting, it seems, have no effect on how the X-server operates. This is really puzzling. Again, pointing to the broken system. I am very unhappy with X-server (the modular one) in FC5. I guess I will have to roll back to FC4. BTW, I had no problems with FC4 on the same system. Now I regret upgrading :-(

I've edited xorg.conf many times and supplied different options. I am trying to use 'radeon' as a driver. Of course, I can get lower resolution solution with 'vesa' but this is not what I would like to have. The very strange thing is that I configured the system with the 'right' xorg.conf and I got the high resolution, 1920x1200, going. But then I've updated FC5 with the new Xorg server. And this damaged all my hard work. Most likely I could reverse the issue by re-installing, but this is not what I would like to do. In summary, there are two issues: a working xorg.conf and why the behaviour of the system changed after up[censored] it. Of course, xorg.conf was not altered. If up[censored] damages the system, this is FC5 instability issue and should be reported as a serious BUG. If needed, I can supply my xorg.conf and X.0.log produced with it. However, the main issue it seems that 'dri' is not loading. So something is going on between the kernel modules and the Xorg server. Something, that sounds like incompatibility.
