Re: screen blanks with nomodeset
Chris, The worst part is that the fglrx drivers have stopped working on my machine with X1650 Pro graphics. The kernel level drivers seem to work okay, but when X starts up, I only get a black screen. This issue doesn't occur on a MacBook Pro with X1600 graphics so it appears to be specific to that particular graphics card. I tried rawhide over the weekend and the new DRI2 ati drivers have there on slew of issues (like rendering out of windows for pymol).

I have been resorting to the use of the nomodeset kernel argument in an attempt to disable modesetting, but, while less frequent, the black screens still appear. Normally, it will return back to the same display but on occasion, I get a reboot. This is on a Radeon X1650 Pro with Fedora 10 x86_64. Jack It happens to me occasionally, and when it does it becomes completely unresponsive to power button, keyboard, mouse, and network. I have to force power off. I have nomodeset kernel option in grub.
