Fedora 11 only comes with 1.6.4 right now and the ATI drivers included in F12 and Rawhide have major regressions for my 4850 Radeon: KMS:RV770PRO:HD4850 1G VRAM+onboard nouveau conflict: system freezes on login screen https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=530784 This one can be worked around by using nouveau.modeset=0 on boot but then the performance is much worse than it is in Fedora 11: KMS:RV770PRO:HD4850 1G VRAM performance regression from F11 to Rawhide(F13) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=553059 While the slower performance of the UI is bearable the video playback issue is more problematic because unless you restrict yourself to low resolution youtube videos the playback becomes practically useless. Is there a possibility to compile the driver that ships with Fedora 11 for Fedora 12/Rawhide and boot with nomodeset to get around these regressions or is the older driver fundamentally incompatible with the Xorg/DRM/KMS versions shipped with F12/Rawhide?
