There was an xorg-x11-6.8.2 update released today for FC3. It still does not include the ATI/GATOS multimedia modules even though GATOS has been merged into xorg for a long time now.
Will or does the FC4 xorg contain the ATI multimedia modules?
Thanks

The radeon portion still is borken. I have 512 MB more of memory and the problem is still the same. 708696 total, was only 256 MB.
The only reason I mentoned added memory was because it fixed the installer aborting with 256 MB and I was hoping the added memory might resolve the X failure. - :-(

Parts of GATOS were merged into CVS head of development, which will be included in X11R7 which will be the next major Xorg release.
6.8.2, and any other 6.8.x releases that occur in the future, are bug-fix only releases which fix bugs reported since the previous 6.8.x release, and add no major new features.
The xorg-x11 in FC4-devel is identical to the FC3 one, except compiled with a different compiler. The FC4 one has a few additional bug fixes which are being tested first before getting committed to CVS for 6.8.3.
Fedora Core 5 will probably be the first release to include the GATOS drivers as a native part of X.Org X11, assuming that X11R7 gets released in time to be included in FC5.
The X11R7 schedule is not completely written in stone yet though, so it's speculative only at this point.
Hope this helps clarify things a bit. ;)
