Xorg.0.log-working
The Xorg.0.log file from a working driver version (version 6.7.195-3.fc8,
from the Fedora 8 base install).

Xorg.0.log-broken
The Xorg.0.log from version 6.7.197-1.fc8, which doesn't work.
This (and the last Xorg.0.log) were from sessions with no /etc/X11/xorg.conf
file.
In a spirit of experimentation, I built a 6.8.0 + git fixes version of the driver and it did not have the problem with lighting the VGA LCD panel. It still did have the problems with really slow performance when EXA acceleration is enabled. (And other really slow performance when EXA is *not* enabled, which is common to all driver versions and the reason I want to use EXA.) Just from reading 'git log' of the xorg-x11-drv-ati repository, I suspect that panel issue is commit 8d64be6ebd7f50d4bcb587afeee8252c1367dc77, but I have not tried to extract just this patch and testing it on top of 6.7.197. I believe I'm having this issue as well. R350 based chip and after doing a recent update (Fedora 8) only my DVI display is on although xrandr sees the VGA display just fine and seems to think it's working. When I exit X the VGA display comes back on again. BTW Chris, do you have an SRPM of your "fixed" version? Would be interested in testing it on my machine. I rebuild the 6.8.0 RPM's from rawhide for Fedora 8 and my VGA display once again works. http://www.bludgeon.org/~rayvd/rpms/xorg-x11-drv-ati/ Just had to remove the Requires and BuildRequires for the newer version of xorg.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
