    Just struck me - of course you have the mesa drivers loaded, according
    to you XFreeconfig, the radeon drivers are commented out, i assume to
    relieve the lockup issue you were having. Earlier I saw you had tried
    to install the fire gl drivers and got the error about a conflict with
    mesa, try to install the firegl drivers rpm with the --force option,
    then run the fglrxconfig to create a new XFreeconfig file for you (or do
    it manually)...that should help you get some meaningful information in
    your XFree Error log if there is in fact still a problem. For me with
    the 9700 pro (only 2D support provided by fedora) things didn't really
    start to click until after a kernel recompile with agpart and radeon as
    loadable modules. Unfortunately I have to work from memory here as the
    box I did this on was for a friend and I don't have ready access to it.
