Can you reproduce this issue in FC7 test1? (Once it's released, which should be in the next day or two.) Tested with FC7 - same problem at firstboot (screenshot attached). The red/green rectangular object looks like the rendering of a random memory region. ....Additionally, the mouse (Logitech USB-PS/2 optical mouse) is correctly recognized but behaves as it moved through molasses. Should I open a bug against that? Created attachment 149075 [details]

Based on the date this bug was created, it appears to have been reported against rawhide during the development of a Fedora release that is no longer maintained. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are flagging all of the open bugs for releases which are no longer maintained. If this bug remains in NEEDINFO thirty (30) days from now, we will automatically close it. If you can reproduce this bug in a maintained Fedora version (7, 8, or rawhide), please change this bug to the respective version and change the status to ASSIGNED. (If you're unable to change the bug's version or status, add a comment to the bug and someone will change it for you.) Thanks for your help, and we apologize again that we haven't handled these issues to this point. The process we're following is outlined here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/F9CleanUp We will be following the process here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping to ensure this doesn't happen again. Agree with resolving this WONTFIX. If I can ahold of the machine involved (thoroughly weird Fujitsu-Siemens hardware that gave me no end of trouble) and test with a Fedora8 or later, I will add a comment. But no promises. Thank you for reporting back. This issue will be closed as WONTFIX. You can always reopen it when you're able to duplicate it with Fedora 8 or later. |
I have a Fujitsu-Siemens with an integrated "ATI Rage XL AGP 2X" which works well under Red Hat ES 4 (and I think Fedora Core 4 and also Red Hat 9.0 ;-) Installation of Fedora Core 6 on that machine works well (as does the first reboot) (** repeat: graphical installation works well up to the end **) but after that, there is serious trouble with X11: the screen cannot set itself up properly (seems to restart continuously) or else the screen sets itself up, shows "gdm greeter" but also shows these "large rectangles of random pixel" that indicate someone thought your video RAM was heap RAM that we all learned to love back on the Amiga. Then the keyboard and mouse inputs are lost. Here is the procedure: 1) Installed FC6 with no hitch 2) Firstboot A boot, the switch to graphical boot fails (and keyboard/mouse input is lost) However, boot continues and after that we are back to the standard graphical installation mode with the "Welcome" screen, which works. The attempt to switch to X11 graphical loging screen fails (and keyboard/mouse input is lost) 3) Reboot and boot with rescue disk Set GRAPHICAL=NO in /etc/sysconfig/init Set default runlevel 3 in /etc/inittab Save /mnt/sysimage/etc/X11/xorg.conf as "xorg.conf.orig" (attached) Save /mnt/sysimage/var/log/Xorg.0.log as "Xorg.0.log.orig" (attached) 4) Reboot, no X11 at boot now. Login an remove /etc/X11/xorg.cong telinit 5 to start X11, which fails. The graphical display shows in a partially massacred bitmap: "Greeter application appears to be crashing. Attempting to use a different one" (and keyboard/mouse input is lost) Saved /var/log/Xorg.0.log as "Xorg.0.log.telinit" (attached)
