There have been bunch of bug fixes Could you retest with the latest kernel ( -132 at the time of this writing ) You can get the latest kernel build here http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=72270 And with the latest xorg-x11-drv-ati. ( -60 at the time of this writing ) You can get the latest xorg-x11-drv-ati build here http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=95 And report back if it either improves or fixes this issue.. Thanks. I updated to the versions you specified but I experienced no improvements at all. PROBLEM #1: Rotating left = monitor standby + total freeze (xrandr -o left). Hard reset required. PROBLEM #2: Turning upside down works (xrandr -o inverted), returning to normal corrupts the screen (xrandr -o normal). Going to attach some screens of the corruption. PROBLEM #3: Switch from 1280x1024 to 1152x864 = monitor standby + total freeze. Hard reset required. Created attachment 325386 [details]
Screen corrupted after going from upside down to normal.
Screenshot of the corrupted screen after issuing the "xrandr -o normal" command when the screen is upside down.
Note: the white in the post-it on the desktop is just my censorship, it's not corruption. :)

Screen corrupted after going from upside down to normal (fonts screwed up).
In this screen you can see that also the fonts are screwed up. Only logging out and back in fixes the corruption and the fonts.
Hmmm... today I experienced a problem that maybe can partly explain all those "monitor standby" issues I'm really frequently undergoing. I was taking a look at the systemsettings modules in KDE 4 when I decided to take a look to the "Display" module. Immediately after clicking on the icon I experienced the "monitor standby" issue. This time I was able to get to the VT and in the last lines of the /var/log/Xorg.0.log I found: (II) RADEON(0): Modeline "0x0"x0.0 0.00 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 (0.0 kHz) (II) RADEON(0): EDID for output DVI-0 resize called 320 200 Don't know if these lines are of any interest but turning back to X (pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1) I got in the upper left corner of the screen a little part which displayed my KDE session, in the rest of the screen there was the output of my VT2 terminal. It was like if there was a little (probably 320x200) KDE session in the upper left corner of the screen (the mouse moved only in this part) and the rest had my VT2 as a background. I'm going to attach the Xorg.0.log related to this issue. Created attachment 327501 [details]
Xorg.0.log when experiencing the "320x200 issue".
Fantastic! I've backported by hand (recompiled from Rawhide src.rpm) the latest packages for xorg-x11-server, xorg-x11-drv-ati, libXrandr and all the other needed dependencies and the problems has gone! All now works flawlessly!!! Rotating left, right, upside down, and changing resolution now all works like a charm. Thanks! Name : xorg-x11-server-Xorg Arch : i386 Versione : 1.5.99.901 Release : 1.fc10 Name : xorg-x11-drv-ati Arch : i386 Versione : 6.10.0 Release : 1.fc10 Name : libXrandr Arch : i386 Versione : 1.2.99.4 Release : 1.fc10 The problems probably will remain open unless you backport the fixes also for Fedora 10, but at least I can see a bright future for Fedora 11! P.S.: if you want me to test if the latest updates fix the problems also for F10 you should give me some time because I don't know how to downgrade (yum --allow-downgrade doesn't seem to work) so I have to install from scratch. This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. 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 '9'. 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 9'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 9 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 As stated before this still applies to F10 but not to F11 (or XServer >= 1.6). This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 10. 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 '10'.

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 10 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-12-17. Fedora 10 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. |
