After updates today my radeon driver does not start properly if the
kernel nomodeset option is used.
The X log has a message :
"Couldn't find valid PLL dividers"
Good news though in other areas :
--I can shell into the machine with ssh, it's not a hard crash.
--If I set up the kernel with "rhgb quiet" and do not use the
"nomodeset" option X starts up normally.
--I no longer need an xorg.conf with "XAA" accel enabled to prevent X
crashes. EXA seems to be working reliably now. (I previously reported
that www.newegg.com and wiki.centos.org were crashing X with EXA enabled.)
EXA seems stable with kernel modesetting though...great!
