Doesn't help me with the problem, but at least it is not a general
problem with ati under x86_64.

Did a bit more investigation now, and it seems like the machine itself
is running (I can ssh in from another machine here), but Xorg is using
100% CPU.

The console is completely dead, even if I kill -9 Xorg the screen
remains blank and the keyboard does not respond at all, so a reboot is
needed to recover.

I'll see if I can find another solution, and maybe try to reinstall.
This machine has been following rawhide/development for about a year
now with nightly yum updates enabled (yeah - I like to live a risky
life) so there might very well be some bits and pieces from a broken
package laying around somewhere...

Thanks anyway.


Rgds.
