xorg logfile.
This is on a ppc mac mini with a NEC 2080ux monitor connected to DVI. Can we get /etc/X11/xorg.conf as well, please? The same problem. *** Bug 410091 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** My Fedora 8 installation has the same problem. Hardware: Standard Intel Pentium 4 PC ATI Radeon 9600 graphic card Graphics worked with Fedora 6. After upgrade to Fedora 8 I get a blank screen at the end of the boot process. Switching virtual terminals to vt 1 and back to vt 7 with Ctrl + Alt + F1 and Ctrl + Alt + F7 "fixes" the problem, I get the display manager login. Using the commercial ATI driver results in login screen after booting but the graphic is "moved to the right" by aprox. 20%, leaving the left side of the screen blank. Switching virtual terminals back and forth also "fixes" this problem. I can add some interesting information: 2 days back the 17" TFT no name monitor died. Today I attached a different TFT monitor ( 19" Samsung SyncMaster 191T ) with the same resolution and the black screen at startup is now gone. I can now see the graphical boot screen and also the login screen appears at the end of the boot process, no Ctrl + Alt + F1 etc. switching necessary. In ~ 2 weeks the old 17" monitor will be repaired and I expect the problem will return again :-( . It seems was fixed already - I updated recently and found that issue was gone. xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.7.197-1.fc8 Does anybody confirms that this problem was solved? If yes then we should close this ticket. Nope, it still fails for me. More correctly I still have the symptoms of bug 410091 not this bug (which has incorrectly been marked as a duplicate). Sounds silly, but could you please try to connect to some other monitor? Are you asking me? Sorry, but I'm not sure if it's me you're asking. If so then the simple answer is "no", I don't believe I have a suitable monitor to plug in to the laptop. One other thing, why is this set to priority low? I submitted another bug 410091 as high (because the laptop is useless without a fix) yet that's been marked as a dup of this LOW priority bug for some reason. Please correct the priority back again. works for me now (mac mini PPC). I think Nigel horne is reporting a different bug; can his bug be unmarked as duplicate? The old monitor is repaired, I pluged it on and didn't experience the problem of the past. For me the problem is gone, independend of the monitor model. From my point of view this bug can be closed Still fails for me. I have reopened 410091 |
