I thought about trying centos 7. But in the end that doesn't really help me since I'm trying to keep my current centos 6 installation working. I don't really have the time/energy to reinstall everyting under CentOS 7 right now.
I was able to get a 6.6 LiveCD built myself. The liveCD has the same problem - X doesn't work. I can boot the "Basic Video" option from the LiveCD and I can at least get to the desktop but there are several odd video problems when I do that. But I think that means that there is a genuine problem with Xorg on my hardware. Does anyone know who I should submit this bug to - AMD or Xorg?
Any other ideas for workarounds in the mean time?
The xorg ati developer doesn't think it's a driver problem.

Any other ideas for tracking this down?
After a little more conversation with the ati developer, he thinks its a problem with the kernel.

He is suggesting I get in touch with the people who maintain the CentOS kernel. What is the best way to do this? Submit a bug on https://bugs.centos.org?
