Xorg configuration file used when Xorg froze during startup
Hi, I've done some further investigation. If I remove rhgb from grub.conf Xorg seems to survive. However, I still can't get a dual monitor configuration to work; both displays are the same regardless of what Xinerama is set to. Thanks for the bug report. It seems that system-config-display does not properly support configuration of multihead. It does not put the correct statements in the config file in all sections, which is why you're unfortunately left with a non-working configuration. I have reassigned this issue to our config tool component, so that it can be fixed in a future release, or the multihead configuration removed (since it does not work). It's odd that removing rhgb allows X to function. That is a separate bug however, but you can file a new bug against xorg-x11 for that if you like. Thanks again. Additional info: It shows "Clone on" and "Xinerama off" in the config. The former shouldn't even be there, and the latter should be on. Original poster - which option did you select in s-c-display for desktop layout - Spanning Desktops or Individual Desktops? Mass update: move dual head bugs from FC5 to FC6, no way they can get fixed before FC5 release at this point. Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Thank you! Closing per lack of response to previous request for information. This bug was originally filed against a much earlier version of Fedora Core, and significant changes have taken place since the last version for which this bug is confirmed. Note that FC3 and FC4 are supported by Fedora Legacy for security fixes only. Please install a still supported version and retest. If it still occurs on FC5 or FC6, please reopen and assign to the correct version. Otherwise, if this a security issue, please change the product to Fedora Legacy. Thanks, and we are sorry that we did not get to this bug earlier. |
