hi, time to time when i start my linux and after booting information just in time when desktop (KDE) should appear nothing happened and screen is black.
Here u r part from my xorg.conf :

Code:

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier   "Monitor0"
        VendorName   "Monitor Vendor"
        ModelName    "F-419"
        DisplaySize  370        300
        HorizSync    24.0 - 80.0
        VertRefresh  49.0 - 75.0
        Option      "dpms"
EndSection

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Videocard0"
        Driver      "radeon"
        VendorName  "Videocard vendor"
        BoardName   "ATI Radeon 9600"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device     "Videocard0"
        Monitor    "Monitor0"
        DefaultDepth     24
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     16
                Modes    "1280x1024" "1152x864" "1152x768" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     24
                Modes    "1280x1024" "1152x864" "1152x768" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
        EndSubSection
EndSection

(issue 1280x1024 I added myself)
my kernel is : 2.6.12-11.0

Thank a lot for any proposal...

A good start would be to get the drivers from http://rpm.livna.org/

There's an explanation of how to use livna on numerous sites, Google for Livna, Radeon, and "Fedora 6" and there's more entries than you can shake a stick at!
