I have Selinux disabled, as i thought, this could be an issue.

Not quite sure. I found this now in rawhide's new package-info for kernel .79:

* Mon Nov  3 17:00:00 2008 Dave Airlie <airlied at redhat.com> 2.6.27.4-73
- drm-modesetting-radeon.patch: fix modeset reporting for pm-utils

looking at my post at rpmfusion, i copied:

Nov  5 05:05:19 niobe kernel: [drm:radeon_check_and_fixup_packets] *ERROR*

...so perhaps its corrected in this kernel, or i get another error. I gonna test. When
is it gonna pushed to the mirrors?
