Description Fred New 2006-02-10 09:39:57 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060111 Firefox/1.5.0.1

Description of problem:
I am still seeing the symptoms of bug 179041 (unusable login screen) on my system with a Matrox video card.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
module-init-tools-3.2-0.pre9.0.FC4.1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot the system.
  

Actual Results:  The "login screen" that appears is just a bunch of vertical lines.

Expected Results:  A normal FC4 login screen.

Additional info:

kernel-2.6.15-1.1831_FC4
udev-071-0.FC4.2

I can work around the problem by inserting the following line
in etc/modprobe.conf:
install matroxfb_base /bin/true

The following messages appear in dmesg:

I have confirmed that module-init-tools-3.2-0.pre9.0.FC4.3 currently in the
updates-testing repository fixes this problem.
