Reply-to: For users of Fedora Core releases <fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx>

Some Thinkpads with Radeon video cards have a suspend issue that requiresloading the radeonfb kernel module in the initrd. When this happens, theradeon xorg driver refuses to display at any resolution other than640x480. Everything works normally (except for the suspend problem) whenthe radeonfb is not loaded.

Anyone else seeing this? Any solution? Is it an xorg bug or a kernelbug?


TIA.
