F10 Crash on laptop Radeon 200M

[Wade Hampton]

Update:  I used the nomdeset kernel option and the laptop is now usable
(add nomodeset to the kernel line in /etc/grub.conf).

The laptop is still in runlevel 3 and I have to use startx to start X windows
but it works.  However, when I tried to logout of X, the laptop hung so
all is not fixed.

There are several bugs on RedHat's bugzilla that are tracking this
or related issues.  The one I posted to is 467821, reported by
Dave Jones, 10/20/08.

Hope all had a good turkey day and got out their Christmas/Holiday decorations!
