[XFree86] Speedo and the Radeon 7000

[Bill Kristjanson]

I have installed a Radeon 7000 PCI in my Phoebe-3 (RH 8.0.94) system.  
After the upgrade of the card X refused to start.  My system would lock 
and required the three-finger-salute.  Through experimentation I have 
established that the problem occurs when X tries to load Speedo.  I 
understand that speedo is a font backend.

My questions are:

Is speedo the "new" method of rendering fonts or the "outgoing" method?

Does anyone know of a work-around to get it running?

Is having no speedo fonts even something I should worry about?

TIA
Bill
