Mouse does move, but an activity indicator like pressing CAPS LOCK and see if the light turns on is a way to see if the computer is working normally. When this bug happened to me, CAPS LOCK was frozen. Also, if you go to console, it's better to go to init 3, then back to init 5, as that will initialize the card again and it won't freeze. Also, a similar freeze appears to happen when launching full-screen gl(-enhanced too) apps, like ppracer or powermanga or bzflag. No caps lock light, mouse moves, frozen black screen. In the case of games, I hear the music playing. I haven't tested wether you can log into the machine remotely. This bug is gone with the latest version of xorg-x11 in development, 6.8.2-22. I also notice the pattern at the of the screen changed when going from console to X. I would recommend pushing this version or one like it FC3 updates to replace the recent 6.8.2-1. xorg-x11-6.8.3-radeon-set-fb-location-fdo2698-2079.patch seems to have resolved this issue, and numerous other bug reports now. Adding bug alias "radeon-vtswitch" to allow easier closing of duplicates. *** Bug 150973 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Confirm. This also works for me now. |
