Fedora 10 freezes after a while

[bruce]

hi globe...

you might want to try and download/install the radeonhd driver, and replace
the radeon in the conf file.

i have f9, and had issues with f9 freezing on my toshiba laptop. downloading
the radeonhd driver, and replacing the raden driver in the xorg file seems
to have solved the issue.

you can download the "radeonhd" driver using yum (not sure of the actual
filename" but check google..)

in the xorg.conf file,

replace
 Driver	"radeon"
with
 Driver	"radeonhd"

see what happens!!

Here is the xorg.conf:
# Xorg configuration created by system-config-display

Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier     "single head configuration"
        Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
        InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Keyboard0"
        Driver      "kbd"
        Option      "XkbModel" "pc105"
        Option      "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Videocard0"
        Driver      "radeon"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device     "Videocard0"
        DefaultDepth     24
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     24
        EndSubSection
EndSection


Many thanks,
