Logfile from failed start attempt
Any progress on this? Need any info from me? I note that the "bad" driver has been pushed to fc8, so perhaps you'll get a few more reports now. This problem appears cured after upgrading to FC10.
xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.9.0-61.fc10.x86_64
Thanks for letting us know. |
Description of problem: Attempt to use "ATI Technologies Inc RS480 [Radeon Xpress 200G Series]" with monitor connected to VGA port (and none to DVI port) results in the monitor being turned off and the system locking up. I suspect that its testing for a monitor on the DVI port? I don't have a DVI monitor I can try, and the DVI socket on this HP box is incompatible with a VGA adaptor for trying a VGA monitor on the DVI port. This is without any /etc/X11/xorg.conf I notice that lspci seems to find two graphics cards???? 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS480 [Radeon Xpress 200G Series] 01:05.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc Unknown device 5854 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.8.0-14.fc9.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. reboot into runlevel 3 2. login 3. startx Actual results: Monitor switches off. System hangs. No response to ctrl-alt-f1, ctrl-alt-del, or remote login attempts. Have to powercycle. Expected results: Working graphics, like with fedora-8 Additional info: Last working driver was: xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.7.195-3.fc8.x86_64.rpm but this can't be used now that the ABI has changed.
