xorg log of the crash
fwiw, the even newer ATI driver is even worse. Now, X crashes at startup with a corrupt display, except for the mouse pointer, which looks and works fine. Keyboard seems nonresponsive - Ctrl-Alt-Backspace won't kill X, and switching to VTs doesn't work either. [rnorwood@solitude ~]$ rpm -q xorg-x11-drv-ati xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.7.196-6.fc9 This happens when the driver is set to ati, radeon (not sure which one is right these days for this card), if no xorg.conf is used, or with system-config-display.

log of the new crash
vesa driver still works fine, by the by. Created attachment 292663 [details]
Me too Xorg.0.log
Thanks, Robin, your advice to use vesa saved me. Otherwise nothing else works
here. I can confirm that I can fully reproduce here, first when I used older
kernel kernel-2.6.23.1-49.fc8.x86_64 X would work, but after today's upgrade,
there is no hope. And the errors looks pretty similar:
[matej@hubmaier ~]$ grep '(EE)' /tmp/Xorg.0.log
(WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
(EE) Unable to locate/open config file
(EE) module ABI major version (1) doesn't match the server's version (4)
(EE) Failed to load module "vga" (module requirement mismatch, 0)
(EE) open /dev/fb0: No such file or directory
[matej@hubmaier ~]$
Used packages:
[matej@hubmaier ~]$ rpm -q kernel xorg-x11-drv-ati xorg-x11-server-Xorg
kernel-2.6.23.1-49.fc8.x86_64
kernel-2.6.24-0.155.rc7.git6.fc9.x86_64
kernel-2.6.24-0.157.rc8.fc9.x86_64
kernel-2.6.24-0.164.rc8.git4.fc9.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.7.196-7.fc9.x86_64
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.4.99.1-0.18.20080107.fc9.x86_64
[matej@hubmaier ~]
Actually, Xorg doesn't crash, it just goes to 100% CPU (or close to 100%) and nothing (not even kill -9) is able to stop it. Robin, does renaming /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libdri.so to something nonsensical helps? If yes, I think we are talking about duplicate of bug 428813. Yeah - I: o Update to latest rawhide as of today, giving me these packages: [rnorwood@solitude ~]$ rpm -q kernel xorg-x11-drv-ati xorg-x11-server-Xorg kernel-2.6.24-0.147.rc7.git2.fc9 kernel-2.6.24-0.167.rc8.git4.fc9 xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.7.196-7.fc9 xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.4.99.1-0.18.20080107.fc9 o Moved aside my modified xorg.conf (which specified 'vesa') o Ran system-config-display - Corrupt display, locked up X o Had to power off and back on o Moved aside libdri.so o Re-ran system-config-display o X works (with the radeon driver) So, this is probably a dupe of 428813. (btw, kernel-2.6.24-0.167 was the running one) (In reply to comment #8) > o Re-ran system-config-display In the new stateless world, you even don't have to run system-config-display. Just mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf{,.backup} and then restart X. But, yes closing as duplicate. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 428813 *** |
