Oh yes if it went well you should boot into a huge graphical KMS console, which you can seamlessly switch with xorg if thats running.
In xorg you can verify
hardware acceleration is working with:
Code:
> glxinfo | egrep 'OpenGL (version|renderer) string'
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI R600 (RV620 95C5) 20090101 x86/MMX+/3DNow!+/SSE2 TCL DRI2
OpenGL version string: 1.5 Mesa 7.8-...

Does this in any way relate to the mesa-
dri-drivers-experimental package that is available for Fedora 12?

Firstly, sorry if this is covered somewhere and I've missed it.
Has anyone had success configuring any of the the recent open source
ATI drivers for Zaphod (dual independent head) mode?
If so - any pointers?

Providing /var/log/Xorg.{0,1}.log (after a failed blank) could give further hints to the cause, maybe after adding -logverbose 20 to the X options.
As a short-term workaround, you can add
Code:
xset -dpms
xset s off
to session startup to disable
blanking.

Just for clarification, the current driver *does* support shaders and most of the games running on them are using shaders. What they don't support is GLSL - only the ARB_vp/fp shader language. The changes to support GLSL and
OpenGL 2.0 will mostly be made in the mesa drivers, not radeon/radeonhd.

The modeline for
tv-out is just a placeholder. The driver always outputs native timing for the selected TV standard (PAL, NTSC, etc.). "modes" with respect to TV only represent the size of the desktop downscaled to the native TV res. On your chip the only "mode" supported on tv-out is 800x600 at the moment (800x600 area of the desktop downscaled to pal resolution). The only thing you need to ...

A recent update blew up Kwin (I'm running
KDE 4.3)
I had this problem a long time ago, while using XRender effects, back when there was no functioning OpenGL acceleration with free drivers. Then, it was gone, and OpenGL compositing worked perfectly.
A recent update broke it again. There are strange-coloured shadows around windows and windows don't redraw unless you move them.

Are these drivers in a state yet where an HD4870 would run as cool as with
fglrx?

Get NV G210, from MSI you even git it with
passive cooling. Not for gaming but for videos best choice.

Doesn't work very well here (rv670, hd3850). As I said in the IRC:
- If I enable modesetting by default at boot, it doesn't find the firmware (possibly my fault, because it *is* in /lib/firmware/radeon).
- If I don't enable modesetting by default, build radeon as a module and load it with modeset=1, I get this
Code:
[drm] Initialized drm 1.1.0 20060810
[drm] radeon ...
