REAL problems with X crashing for fc5 and radeon cards - Help ?

[Mike Cohler]

I have a freshly installed FC5 system on a machine that was running
FC4 until today.
It has an Athlon processor and an onboard Trident Cyberblade graphics
card, as well as a Radeon 7000 PCI card, and the monitor is plugged
into the Radeon card.

It would not do a graphical install at all, so I did a text install -
and this appeared successful.

However, once complete it refused to enter firstboot - and crashed as
soon as X tried to start.
I have been unable to get past that point !  I had severe problems
last year - see
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=169637
for the problems relating to fc4.

I have started a new bugzilla report at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=189631

I can't get it to boot into runlevel 3 or 5, but I can use CD1 to get
into rescue mode.

If anyone has any suggestions as to how I might be able to progress please post.

Thanks
Mike
