Description Richard Tresidder 2006-03-25 07:28:16 UTC 
Description of problem:
I have just done an update of FC5 Test3 via pup to what was in the default
repository (that is set from installation) to what was available as of today
(25th March 2006). This however seems to have come with a bug, X will no longer
start up with the GLX extension loaded, it seems to simply hang and the only
thing that will respond is a ctrl+alt+delete, can't switch VT's to see whats
happening etc.
I have a Dell Inspiron 9300 laptop with an ATI Raedon X300 card.

Not sure if the repository that these updates came from is a development for
next FC6 (kernel seems to be tagged as such) or if it is the latest available
for FC5 in effect.

X log file does not contain any info beyond the Initializing built-in extension
XEVIE on a failed startup.

messages shows no indication of a problem, except after hitting ctrl+alt+del and
then gets info about X startup failure..

will post logs in sec

Without having a concrete idea of what specifically you are running, it
is difficult at best to try to diagnose or reproduce such a problem.
The problem could potentially even be caused by using rawhide packages
with FC5 packages which are not compatible with each other.

Please do a clean OS install of FC5 and update it with yum to the current
released FC5 updates.  If the problem still occurs, reopen the bug report
and attach an X server log file and config file from the clean FC5 OS
install from the problematic invocation and we'll review the new details.
