Hi -

I initially reported this on IRC (#radeon on irc.freenode.net, between
18:39 and 21:15 EST), and airlied (Dave Airlie) thought it might be a
kernel bug, due to the message in the Subject: line.

I'm configuring an older motherboard (purchased in 2001) to be a
MythTV front/backend and file server.  I have an ATI Radeon 8500 128MB
AGP video card that I'm also trying to reuse.  This combination ran
for years under Windows 2000, but has been giving me fits under Fedora
10.  It will bring up X when I use Driver "vesa" in xorg.conf, but
fails when I use Driver "ati" with "No valid linear framebuffer
address".  (Xorg log is at http://novia.net/~gwr/Xorg.0.log;
configuration is http://novia.net/~gwr/xorg.conf).

Dave had me download a test kernel
(kernel-2.6.29-0.33.rc5.fc10.i686.rpm and
kernel-firmware-2.6.29-0.33.rc5.fc10.noarch.rpm from
kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org) and try again; same results.  The dmesg
and 'lspci -vv' output from that version are attached to this email.

In case the attachments don't survive Gmail, dmesg output is at
http://novia.net/~gwr/dmesg_2.6.29-0.33.rc5, and output of 'lspci -vv'
is at http://novia.net/~gwr/lspci-vv_2.6.29-0.33.rc5
