You need to pull this update and restore the last version. It didn't have 3D but at least it was usable. can you attach a log file please? it sounds like either your DPI has always been wrong and is now right and you compenstated for it by upping font sizes. or we could just be detecting your monitor wrong.. I can't tell without a log file. Created attachment 296144 [details]
Xorg Log File as requested
Was about to boot in single user, modified xorg.conf to use vesa driver instead
of radeon as a workaround. KDE4 is completely hosed but able to get in via
gnome. Please advise.
Image Size: 289 x 21 mm
your monitor EDID is make of failure..
the xserver has the database of workarounds, and I've just pushed a fix to the
X.org server, it'll hit rawhide on the next rebase.
the best workaround for now is to add a monitor section to your xorg.conf and
override the
Section "Monitor0"
DisplaySize 289 210
EndSection
and in the driver section
Option "Monitor-LVDS" "Monitor0"
Thank you, the override in xorg.conf has circumvented the problem. Can you please let me know the name of the rpm for the fix so I can remove the xorg.conf workaround when the revised rpm is applied to make sure it works. I will report the status in this ticket. Created attachment 296436 [details]
Working with VESA driver

BLACK SCREEN with RADEON DRIVER
Applied: xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.4.99.1-0.26.20080227.fc9 xorg-x11-server-common-1.4.99.1-0.26.20080227.fc9 Now screen becomes BLANK (BLACK) with no activity when X starts. The only way I was able to recover was to go back to using the VESA driver. Looks like the server updates broke something else rather than fixing the large print problem. I've attached two xorg.logs, one using the VESA driver, and the other was using the radeon driver which results in a blank screen now. I didn't have any of these problems before I applied: xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.8.0-2.fc9.x86_64 Card in question is: ATI Radeon XPRESS 200M 5955 (PCIE) Let's keep this bug about too large text, and let's return to it when your display again. When Xserver will work again, would you please, report what happened to the size of text? Created attachment 296694 [details]
Xorg Log File showing Large Text after ati-6.8.0-3

Xorg Log File showing Large Text
I believe I am also experiencing this problem -- perhaps. I only am seeing issues with Firefox, but it goes away when I switch to the Vesa driver (although the Vesa driver completely unuseable due to horrible performance). I originally filed this bug against Firefox: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=439616 But then I found this. I will post my current xorg.conf, Xserver log and xrandr output. I tried the workaround mentioned above but it seems to have no affect. Oh, I'll also post a screenshot of the phenomenon. HW details are as follows: ASUS A7V333 Motherboard ASUS Radeon 9800 (R350 chip with Vivo) Fresh install of Fedora 9 Beta 3 updated with latest updates from rawhide.

In addition, I am using the following RPM versions: xorg-x11-server-common-1.4.99.901-13.20080314.fc9.i386 xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.4.99.901-13.20080314.fc9.i386 xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.8.0-6.fc9.i386 I am running at the default of 111 DPI, and have also tried at 96. Ray please log your own bug, I'm not able to track two issues like this in once place. okay I'm just building ati driver 6.8.0-8.fc9. http://koji.fedoraproject.org/packages/xorg-x11-drv-ati/6.8.0/8.fc9/ I've found yet another bug in its EDID quirk handling please let me know if it helps. if it doesn't I'll be most unhappy, :) Sorry for the delay in responding... Applied: xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.8.0.9.fc9 xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.4.99.901-16.20080401.fc9 Works!!!!!!! Thank you very much for your help! Glad we were able to resolve. sorry, to clarify: xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.8.0-9.fc9 (had a little typo there) *** Bug 466156 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
