Description Vasiliy Sharapov 2016-03-30 09:44:59 UTC 
Filed from caserun (https://tcms.engineering.redhat.com/run/274895/#caserun_11913516)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL-6.8-20160323.0

Steps to Reproduce: 
 1. Ensure the 'nomodeset' kernel parameters are not set in your bootloader
    configuration.
 2. Ensure the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf does not exist, or is a valid file that
    uses the valid driver.
 3. Shut your system down entirely, then start it up again, in console mode.
    When the boot prompt appears, hit a key to allow you to change the boot
    options. Hit the 'e' key on the default entry, select the kernel options
    line, hit 'e' again, and add simply a space and the number '3' to the end
    of the line. Then boot with that change.


 1. The system will boot to the console. Log in as a normal user.
 2. Start X: startx.





Actual results: 
X does not start unless you have mesa-libEGL installed. mesa-libEGL is not installed by default on -Client and -Workstation variants.
  [    20.825]    ABI class: X.Org ANSI C Emulation, version 0.4
  [    20.825] (II) glamor: OpenGL accelerated X.org driver based.    
(EOF)

Expected results:
X should work properly.
  [    21.268]    ABI class: X.Org ANSI C Emulation, version 0.4
  [    21.268] (II) glamor: OpenGL accelerated X.org driver based.
  [    21.417] (II) glamor: EGL version 1.4 (DRI2):
  [    21.426] (II) RADEON(0): glamor detected, initialising EGL layer.
(...)

Perhaps xorg-x11-drv-ati should depend on mesa-libEGL?
Comment 4 Adam Jackson 2016-03-31 15:28:56 UTC 
This is really an xserver bug. We should require libEGL from whatever provides the glamor accel module, since we can't really do that from epoxy.
