xorg log file
Also, in FC6t3 booting the install CD and then switching to console seemed to work fine. I just tried FC5 install CD, and it corrupts the console too. It was probably some external condition that made FC6t3 work ok, but I can't think of anything. Apparently the nv driver gets very confused when there is more than one output to use. Everything is fine when I'm using the laptop's built-in LCD only, but when I plug in an external one, numerous troubles occur - the above font corruption is one of them. I probably should report this to whoever's in charge of nv, any pointers? Hi, Alex, yes, you have reported your problem to the correct people, and I am sorry, that we are replying to your report only now. Unfortunately, we could use very much some more information about your setup. Could you, please, attach your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachment using the bugzilla file attachment link below? I would be also concerned about configuration from your previous installation. 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.

Xorg log when there is no xorg.conf file
When I remove the xorg.cong, X Window doesn't start anymore. I have attached
the log file for this case. It makes a few attempts and then suggests I run the
configuration tool.
There you go. Let me know if anything else is needed. Looks like the problem only happens when openfirmeware framebuffer driver is used. I have reported it upstream via freedesktop bugzilla to opensource nvidia driver people. Fedora Core 6 is no longer supported, could you please reproduce this with the updated version of the currently supported distribution (Fedora 7, 8, or Rawhide)? If this issue turns out to still be reproducible, please let us know in this bug report. If after a month's time we have not heard back from you, we will have to close this bug as CANTFIX. Setting status to NEEDINFO, and awaiting information from the reporter. [This is mass-filed message to all open Fedora Core 6 bugs related to Xorg or Gecko. If you see any other reason, why this bug shouldn't be closed, please, comment on it here.] Yes, the problem persists on Fedora 8. The freedesktop bug I have filed is here: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12933 This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
