It works fine with the ATI fglrx binary-only driver on 2.6.5-rc1. However, if radeonfb is enabled and I try to stop the X server or switch away from it to another virtual console, then the screen display gets all messed up and the machine gets stuck. When this hapens, I periodically see this kind of message: radeonfb: FIFO Timeout ! Now, this is on ia64 machine so at this point I'm just wondering whether this problem also shows up on other machines. If it's an ia64-specific problem, I can look into it. Otherwise, I guess I'll just disable radeonfp for now.
