Hello,

Not in a big desktop config, I use just the one monitor. However, I
finally got my radeon 9600 to work fine under FC4. The problem was that
the 'BlockSignalsOnLock' option was set 'on' in xorg.conf. This caused
hard lockups with the screensavers (under both kde and gnome) . Setting
the option to 'off' and it all works fine now. I use the livna rpms and
then ran the fglrxconfig (or whatever) program to configure xorg.conf.
