Description Matt Albrecht 2007-06-05 20:48:49 UTC
Description of problem:

xorg server fails on startup (when running "startx") due to:

X: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//glint_drv.so: undefined
symbol: RamDacCreateInfoRec

I'm running with a FireGL 1000 video card, which seems to limit me to only the
glint driver.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

xorg-x11-server-Xorg.i386 1.3.0.0-5.fc7


How reproducible:

Happens every time I attempt to start X.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run "startx"

  
Actual results:
   X switches the display to the X buffer (Ctrl-Alt-F7), but it remains blank. 
The X server stops on the primary console with the above error message.

Expected results:
    X server should start

Additional info:
    I've attached the Xorg log file.

I'm experiencing the same problem with a Permedia 2 card.  Same symbol lookup 
error.

Research suggests it might be caused by this xorg bug, which is resolved 
upstream: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10906

I'm in the process of recompiling the xorg-x11-server SRPM with the patch from 
there, and I'll report back when I find out whether it works.

Comment 3 Need Real Name 2007-06-06 22:36:04 UTC
OK, I grabbed xorg-x11-server-1.3.0.0-5.fc7.src.rpm, added the patch from the 
freedesktop.org bug entry, rebuilt the RPM and installed it.  Now the X server 
starts.

Comment 4 Fedora Update System 2007-06-07 15:57:31 UTC
xorg-x11-server-1.3.0.0-8.fc7 has been pushed to the Fedora 7 testing repository.  If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.

Comment 5 Matt Albrecht 2007-06-07 19:27:42 UTC
I just tried out the xorg-x11-server-Xorg update from the development repository
(version i386 1.3.0.0-8.fc8) since I didn't see the update yet in the testing
repository (it's at -7.fc7 when I checked, which doesn't have the fix).  I'm
seeing the X server start now.

Comment 6 Need Real Name 2007-06-08 00:10:04 UTC
I just installed xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.3.0.0-8.fc7 from testing, and it works 
here.

Comment 7 Fedora Update System 2007-06-11 22:08:03 UTC
xorg-x11-server-1.3.0.0-8.fc7 has been pushed to the Fedora 7 stable repository.  If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
