  OK.  I found another Radeon card in an old machine, swapped it into my

test machine, and luckily it came up without having to reconfigure X.

Here's the output of the queries you suggested:

[root@angel ~]# rpm -q jack-audio-connection-kit qjackctl pulseaudio

kernel ardour

jack-audio-connection-kit-1.9.4-1.fc12.ccrma.i686

qjackctl-0.3.6-1.fc12.i686

pulseaudio-0.9.21-5.fc12.i686

kernel-2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686

kernel-2.6.32.11-99.fc12.i686

ardour-2.8.7-1.fc12.i686

[root@angel ~]# uname -r

2.6.31.12-1.rt20.1.fc12.ccrma.i686.rtPAE
I continued poking at the system, and stumbled upon more problems:
Launch Ardour, open new session, selecting 'automatically connect inputs'.

Add two mono tracks to session. Select track 1.  Input at top of editor

mixer strip shows a '-', and pop-up when hovering shows 'disconnected'.

I click on it, and select 'in 1'.  Input box still shows '-' and hover

text shows 'disconnected', yet when I click on it again, 'in 1' is checked

in the popup menu.
I enable record on that track, enable record in the transport section, and

click the play button.  Nothing happens - the record button continues to

flash as if enabled, but the playhead doesn't move. No indication that

anything is being recorded.
I decide to give up there.  I click 'session' then 'close', get the

reminder that I haven't saved, and click 'just close'.  Nothing happens,

and Ardour locks up.  Several minutes later, I issue a kill from a

terminal window, and Ardour disappears.
In that terminal window, I issue 'ps aux | grep jack', and learn that jack

is still running.  I attempt to kill it, it doesn't die, then kill it

again with -s 9, to no avail.
I did check /etc/security/limits.conf, and found this at the end:
