OK, I need to start with a basic "dumb" question. What named xorg
version does my package version 1.15 correspond to? X11R7.?
Currently, I'm having some bad flicker problems I didn't experience
previously. I have an old old radeon graphics card and note that the ati
driver was updated with 6.7. This loads for X before the radeon module.
I didn't find any release notes pertaining to this specifically.
Can someone point me to information on the ati module changes.

The advice I gave him last: Boot the last kernel under which you saw "normal" performance. If booting the older kernel doesn't fix the problem, then the problem is probably the X11 server. At that point, I'd start using "yum downgrade" to revert individual components, and reboot until you find the change that fixes performance. xorg-x11-server-Xorg and xorg-x11-drv-ati are the ones I'd check first.

I haven't used yum downgrade before. -- -------------------------------------------- MzK ?The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.? --Lao Tzu
