PSU was replaced with one rated at twice the output already. And we're talking
about PCI radeon 9250, not HD48xx :o)
It works fine with F8 up to kernel 2.6.24.7-92.fc8. After that, mostly OK, but
locks up after anything from an hour to a day, and can trigger a "hard" freeze
by running a few 3D apps then (oddly) quitting one of them.
As F8 was near EOL when I discovered the latter, it's NOT been filed as a bug.
So it doesn't exist ;o)
Anyway, I don't really consider having two or three graphics cards to in any way
be an "edge case" since X always was designed to support multiple displays.
