On a related note, have anyone got either "radeon" or "ati" to work on
an x86_64 lately?

When I try to start X with either of these drivers the machine just
freezes.  The screen turns black, and no keys are working (no
ctrl-alt-del, no ctrl-alt-backspace, no capslock, no numlock...)

After a hard reboot I can't seem to find anything in the Xorg-logs or
dmesg og /var/log/messages to shed any light on what happens.
I currently use the "vesa" driver, but it refuses to give me more than
1024x768 and that looks quite ugly on an 1280x1024 LCD.

The problem seems to be identical to
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=162874 but that bug
was closed, and as nobody else has complained my guess is that it might only
affect x86_64 (or some other subset of the Radeon 9200 SE users out there)

Anything else I can do to debug this?
Should I reopen the bug mentioned, or add a new one?

Rgds.
