radeon driver heading in wrong direction :-(.

My poor system at work generated this bug shortly after
I installed f12 on it:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=541387

I had hoped that over time, the drivers would improve,
but since the updates of about a week ago, the crashes
have been much more dramatic and frequent, so much
so that I've had to go back to my fedora 11 partition
because I couldn't get any work done due to the
frequency of crashes on fedora 12.

Is there a list anywhere of the video cards that
are actually used by X developers on the machines they
need to be up all the time? Switching to a card from that
list seems like it would be a good idea :-).

Is there any remote chance that AMD/ATI are ever going
to produce a catalyst driver that can be built on the
fedora 12 kernel? It might work better...
