Bug 178639

Attach your X server log file and config file seperately, using the link below.

This is after the initial installation

This is the xorg.conf anaconda created

Test the following option in the device section of your config:

    Option "noaccel"

Does this have any effect?

Well ... it has an effect just not a very good one.

With this option at least I get something on my display not just "blank".

However what I get is a series of vertical multicoloured bars and I can tell (if
I use my imagination) that in there is an extremely low resolution desktop
instead of my 1600x1200 one.

It almost reminds me of the Matrox issue with Core 4, seems to me that was some
sorta obscure gcc bug.  

A new X server and nv driver is available now, from the version that
the report was initially filed against.  Please upgrade to the following
packages:

xorg-x11-server-1.0.1-1
xorg-x11-drv-nv-1.0.1.5-1

Once you've updated, run "system-config-display --reconfig" and then reboot
to ensure the video card is reset to power on state.  Try the new X server
and driver out, and update the report to reflect the current status, and
any notable changes.

If you still observe problems, try the "noaccel" option in the device
section again, and if that doesn't change anything, then comment out
the noaccel option and try the following:

Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"

Let us know if that works or not also.

Hope this helps.

Initial files

plain.tar contains xorg.conf and the Xorg log file created when I ran
system-config-display --reconfig

BTW The new drivers did NOT help.

This is a digital camera shot of what the screen looks like.

Sorry for the large size.

When attaching log/config files, please attach them untarred so they're
viewable inside the web browser.  I've had a look at your files and I
notice the following:

That bug was recently fixed with the latest mesa and xorg-x11-server
updates on x86_64.  Please update to the current packages to see if
that problem goes away, as that may be the cause of the issue you
initially reported.

If the problem still exists with the latest updates however, you'll
need to file a bug report in X.Org bugzilla located at
http://bugs.freedesktop.org in the "xorg" component, against the open
Nvidia driver, as it will require direct investigation by the driver
maintainers at Nvidia.  They're the only ones with the hardware
documentation and knowledge of the operation of their hardware
unfortunately.

Once you've filed your bug report to X.Org, if you paste the new
bug URL here, Red Hat will continue to track the issue in the
centralized X.Org bug tracker, and will review any bug fixes that
become available for consideration in future updates.

Setting status to "NEEDINFO_REPORTER", awaiting bug update, with
X.Org bug URL for tracking if the problem remains in the latest
updates.

Thanks in advance.

I applied all the updates I could on Sunday Feb 19th.

I'm now running kernel 1955 and have the nv drivers version 1.0.1.5-3.1

It now works okay, however there is an obvious bug with gnome-display-properties
that I'll have to check into.

xorg.conf correctly has the resolution set to 1600x1200 but
gnome-display-properties will not allow a resolution higher than 1280x960.

I get the same problem, but my g-d-p only lets upto 1024x786.  It is really
annoying, because I select 1600x1200.  Is there anyway to get g-d-p to get
1600x1200?

Ok, thanks.  Closing bug as resolved in RAWHIDE.  Presumeably you've filed
separate bug reports for any new problems you've encountered, and they
will be tracked separately.

Thanks for the update.
