Bug 106501

Hmm, seems like something is strange with kudzu's probing.  Try this:

1) su to root
2) run 'python'
3) type 'import kudzu'
4) type 'vc = kudzu.probe(kudzu.CLASS_VIDEO, kudzu.BUS_PCI, kudzu.PROBE_ALL)'
5) print vc[0]

Please attach the output to this report.

Tried again w/ latest updates from rawhide:

$ rpm -q kudzu initscripts

Idenitical results, though there seems to be much of a time lag:

I'm getting a similar crash of redhat-config-xfree86 on a fresh install of
Fedora Core test3. My video card is Sapphire Radeon 9000. 

Hmm, I can't explain what's going on since kudzu seems to be probing your card
just fine.  

Redo the Python commands like before but this time call 'print vc' instead of
'print vc[0]'.  This will show the entire list of videocards that kudzu has
probed.  Maybe it's mis-detecting some other card as a video card...

Also, the monitor probe comes back w/ nil:

As does /usr/sbin/ddcprobe directly:

$ /usr/sbin/ddcprobe

redhat-config-xfree86 failes to start for me as well, on a Radeon 9000 Pro with
a KDS monitor attached (this is listed though in the hwdata file).

Couple other comments..

Kudzu is turned off to start on boot currently...

Oh, and here is the python info you wanted as you had someone else do in earlier
comments...

Bug still exists in version redhat-config-xfree86-0.9.12-1

redhat-config-xfree86 was working until today (17 Oct.) when I updated packages
via up2date (yum - rawhide). I recomplied the nVidia drivers, to boot 
the new kernel, with the usual export CC=gcc32. Running the Display Settings 
from the menu, the dialog window just sits there. 

When invoked from a console, I get the following:

 root]# redhat-config-xfree86

Traceback (most recent call last):

Elton - your last comment is unrelated to the original report of a problem
with dualhead configuration on ATI hardware.  You're using Nvidia hardware
with proprietary drivers.  While it does appear that you're experiencing
a legitimate bug in the tool, it is an unrelated bug in my opinion.

Please file a brand new bug report for new bugs instead of adding new bugs
to existing defect reports.  Otherwise, when the original issue is fixed
in a given bug report and it gets closed, any other issues reported by other
people which aren't related to the original report get permanently lost.

Thanks in advance.

Oops... Mike ... will do. Someone on the fedora list indicated this was *the*
bug report, but I am now filing a separate bug report against
redhat-config-xfree86-0.9.13-1

I am having exactly the same problem as Mike Harris describes above.
My hardware is a DELL Dimension L667r with an Intel i810 4MB onboard video card
and I have another SiS 300 PCI video card with 32MB.
Although RH has never recognised the PCI card during install(even with Onboard
Video DISABLED in the BIOS) I was able to install RH with the Onboard card, run
redhat-config-xfree86 and change the display card to the PCI one.
Now however, redhat-config-xfree86-0.9.13-1 when run gives me the same error as
Mike describes. I have to manually edit the XF86Config file to get the SiS card
to be used.
Does my system qualify as dual-head? Is this the right bug# to be adding my
comments to?
Ohh and by the way I am using Fedora Test3 version but even Test2 on this
machine had the same problem just before test3 was released.

This bug sounds more and more like a "in general" bug, not so much about the
hardware itself?

I too am hitting this "unpack list of wrong size" error with my Radeon 9200
128MB on my Athlon64, running 32bit Fedora Core 0.95.  I am however able to
modify XF86Config manually, which seems to work fine with full DRI.

redhat-config-xfree86-0.9.13-1 still has the same problem.

Created attachment 95411 [details]
patch for video cards without a driver

This patch should fix the string.split() traceback; it was hiccuping on cards
that didn't have a driver defined.

pardon my ignorance, but how do I (newbieized please...) apply the patch. Thanks.

I tried the patch with my Radeon 9200 128MB.  r-c-x is able to run and configure
settings.  When I click "OK", it fails to quit the program.  The console says:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/redhat-config-xfree86/xConfigDialog.py", line 250, in ok
    self.xconfig.monitor.remove(1)
IndexError: index out-of-bounds

Is this a different bug?

These are the outputs you have asked for through out the history of this bug.

After applying the patch, i am able to get up the configuation settings.

However, when going to the Dual head section, ticking "Use dual head", for the
"second video card:" when selecting the drop down list it appears to be blank
(other then a really little square that seems to be a selection outline if that
makes sense?).

When clicking OK, I get the following at the prompt.

[root@wibbit mnt]# redhat-config-xfree86 
in hydrate_second
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/redhat-config-xfree86/xConfigDialog.py", line 250, in ok
    self.xconfig.monitor.remove(1)
IndexError: index out-of-bounds

I hope this information is of use, and appologise in advance if I have
duplicated unrequired info.

Doug

For Elton Woo (and any others reading this).

To apply the patch down load it (there is a link to it at the bottom of the
page), then move to the directory with xConfigDialog.py in it.

They type cat patchfile | patch.

So for me I do

cd /usr/share/redhat-config-xfree86
cat /tmp/r-c-x.patch | patch

Please note, that this has not fixed all of the problems, there is now an error
on clicking OK.

Hope this helps.

Doug

For those that are seeing the following traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/redhat-config-xfree86/xConfigDialog.py", line 250, in ok
    self.xconfig.monitor.remove(1)
IndexError: index out-of-bounds

this is a different bug than what was originally reported.  Please refer to bug
#107790.

Should be fixed in redhat-config-xfree86-0.9.15-1.  Everybody please test with
it from ftp://people.redhat.com/bfox/redhat-config-xfree86-0.9.15-1.noarch.rpm
and see if it works for you.  It should appear in Rawhide as soon as Rawhide is
up and running again.  Please reopen this report if this update doesn't fix the
problem.


I had to modify notting's patch just a bit.  

The line:
if card.driver[0:4] == "Card:":

should be:

if card.driver[0:5] == "Card:":

*** Bug 106103 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Still not fixed.  Using R300.
