It seems that starting at 23/04 with xorg-x11-server-1.4.99.901-23.20080415.fc9 I'm not able to use EXA accel anymore and so no xvideo with my Sapphire X1900 card.

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc R580 [Radeon X1900 XT] (Primary)

Leaving AccelMethod EXA in xorg.conf I get: 1) rhgb freeze at mid startup point (with both 2.6.25-1 and 2.6.25-8 kernels). I need to switch off keeping power button pressed 2) if I boot without rhgb and without quiet I get black screen with cursor circle when starting gdm part and only able to move mouse but no console switch able I can press power button and get clean shutdown (without screen changes) 3) if I boot as in 2) and specifying init level 3 I can get a console If I log as normal user and do a startx I get gnome but after few seconds screen freezes. I need to switch off keeping power button pressed 4) if I comment out the option about EXA in xorg.conf it seems ok (just in that session)

Is there a particular option for EXA in this latest updates?

BTW: also fglrx doesn't work (tried with -1 kernel, not available for -8 yet). I get a (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//fglrx_drv.so dlopen: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//fglrx_drv.so: undefined symbol: miZeroLin eScreenIndex (EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//fglrx_drv.so

Not tried radeonhd in these days (I have installed xorg-x11-drv-radeonhd-1.1.0-0.7.20080404git.fc9.i386) because it doesn't provide xvideo yet...

My system is an updated rawhide x86. Relevant packages now are:

xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.4.99.901-26.20080415.fc9.i386 xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.8.0-10.fc9.i386 kernel-2.6.25-8.fc9.i686

Any help? See below my current xorg.conf
