Same here... I can login remotely vi ssh. However screen stays black (in power save mode?) and cannot be revived, even after telinit 3. 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Matrox Graphics, Inc. MGA G550 AGP (rev 01) xorg-x11-server-1.1.1-47.1.fc6 This however happens with xen kernel only. Non-xen kernel runs X just fine. See also #216929 Thanks for the bug report. We have reviewed the information you have provided above, and there is some additional information we require that will be helpful in our diagnosis of this issue. Please attach your X server config file (/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.

The log file from the startup
I will need to try the startup without the xorg.conf file later. I have the
previous version of the server installed right now.

Log for starting X without /etc/X11/xorg.conf
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.1.1-47.4.fc6 still does the same thing. org-x11-server-Xorg-1.1.1-47.5.fc6 is still affected. Same for xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.1.1-47.6.fc6 no change for xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.1.1-47.7.fc6 Try to ssh into the machine while it's in runlevel 3, and start X that way. (Just running 'X -verbose :0' will be fine.) I'm wondering if there's some extra output that's going to stdout but not to the X log. That is the way I run my X. I'll upload a stderr file of output. Is there anyway to startup the video card as a workaround without having to reboot? Created attachment 150758 [details]
Log files
This contains the Xorg log files from /var/log and stdout and stderr from
startx for both 1.1.1-47 and 1.1.1-47.7.
xorg-x11-server-1.1.1-47.9.fc6 has been pushed for fc6, which should resolve this issue. If these problems are still present in this version, then please make note of it in this bug report. It is still present in the .9 version. This is only with the xen kernel however the last version of the xen kernel was oopsing and the current version crashes back to bios within 5 minutes but that should be another bugzilla entry. 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.] I no longer have access to FC6 system with the Xen kernel. I have yet to try Xen with Fedora 8. It may conflict with my vmware setup. Does it mean that I should close this bug (because you don't care about Xen anymore), or that you may eventually install Xen and so I should keep this open (for reasonable time -- a month or so)? Well, I haven't really had much success with Xen. I have Fedora 8 on the problem system now. The last attempt yesterday left my system with nautilus in a crash/bug-report/restart loop and eventually the display would not update so I guess unless someone else can pursue this, go ahead and close. I will perhaps try again if there is a new Xen kernel for Fedora 8. Closing per comment #18. Sorry we couldn't figure this one out. |
