Don't find solution for this in Bugzilla!!!

Comment 2 Ray Strode [halfline] 2006-09-11 13:20:39 UTC
reassigning to the X guys, but if it started happening when you upgraded the
kernel, then it might be a kernel problem, yea?

Comment 3 JuanIgnacioTorres 2006-09-12 07:03:21 UTC
so you see. it seems rare to me that it can load version 2.6.15-1.2054_fc5
without problems. and that version 2.6.17-1.2174_FC5 is hung just when it
appears screen login. 

Comment 4 Adam Jackson 2007-03-08 23:23:41 UTC
Does this problem occur at all in FC6 or FC7t2 ?

Comment 5 JuanIgnacioTorres 2007-03-10 17:17:58 UTC
I solve it... the problem is the ati drivers and kernel.
Install FC 6
Select Vesa drivers for working normaly
Download and install ati driver: www.ati.com
Modify the xorg.org

Put this code:

Tanks for you help.

Comment 6 Matěj Cepl 2007-03-12 13:59:32 UTC
No, that's not correct. We cannot do binary-only proprietary drivers here (which
is what you installed). Reporter, are you willing to help us with testing of the
open-source driver? If not, I will have to close this bug as CANTFIX but
otherwise this has not resolved yet.

If you would like to help, please attach your X server config file (using open
source drivers) /etc/X11/xorg.conf and X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log)
to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla
file attachment link below.

Could you please also try to run without any /etc/X11/xorg.conf whatsoever and
let X11 autodetect your display and video card? Attach to this bug
/var/log/Xorg.0.log from this attempt as well, please.

We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information.

Thanks in advance.
