Similar results on 2 of 3 systems here. Both which failed were Matrox 400 running default drivers on Dell 420 platforms. Both had varied confetti colors on the graphical boot screen. Power off-reboot on CRT had similar problems. Additional info: Switching to console text screen and back also gives a graphical screen however all console text screens on the failing boxes now have narrow but widely spaced vertical bars across them and are shifted left slightly from normal. This is true for LCD and CRT monitors. Previous kernels now exhibit same problem. iirc, someone on the fedora list mentioned that the module-init-tools update currently in updates-testing fixes this problem. Could you grab that and confirm ? updating module-init-tools from updates-testing worked for me. everything seems to be ok now. thanks. good to know. thanks for testing. I'll reassign this to module-init-tools for tracking until that gets pushed live. Along with Pedro Matiello, I can confirm that the update on module-init-tools from updates-testing seems to have solved the problem for me. I have the same problem from the same upgrade. I have found that if you ctrl-alt-f1 to the text screen then ctrl-alt-f7 back to the graphics screen it "fixes" itself and you get the normal graphics login and can go on your merry way. Each reboot does cause this problem though. I will try the module-init-tools update too. Thanks, Bert Same problem here. HW = 3Dfx Voodoo 4500 and Acer AL1715 (LCD). CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE restores login screen. module-init-tools from updates-testing also fixed it. OK, so it sounds like the module-init-tools fixes the bug. Great work! How can I track the progress of this -- I'd like to know when the new version of module-init-tools makes it into the regular yum updates. steve |
