The problem persists with latest kernels 2.6.23-0.61.rc1.git9.fc8 and 2.6.22.1-41.fc7 Does the GUI work okay once it gets past bootup? Yes, it works well. I think there are problems if you switch from GUI to the console and back, but if you stay in the GUI, it works fine. Hello Alex, I'm reviewing this bug as part of the kernel bug triage project, an attempt to isolate current bugs in the fedora kernel. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelBugTriage I am CC'ing myself to this bug and will try and assist you in resolving it if I can. There hasn't been much activity on this bug for a while. Could you tell me if you are still having problems with the latest kernel? If the problem no longer exists then please close this bug or I'll do so in a few days if there is no additional information lodged. Cheers Chris Hi Chris, I've taken the issue to the kernel framebuffer maintainer, and we have identified the patch that caused the regression. He has just produced another patch to reverse the original one: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=46EB2077.2060004%40gmail.com&forum_name=linux-fbdev-devel so when it makes its way to the kernel, and from there to Fedora repo, the problem should be gone. I'll be happy to close the bug then :) 2.6.24 kernels have the fix included - the problem is fixed in rawhide |
