Bug 467966

Is there any information in your X11 /var/log/Xorg.X.log file that may provide any extra information?

The only information i get after installing one of the new drivers in the Xorg.0.log is the following:

(II) Power Button (FF): Close
(II) UnloadModule: "evdev"
(II) Power Button (CM): Close
(II) UnloadModule: "evdev"

...and log-off the current user.

xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.9.0-30.fc10.i386 is also broken.

Thanks for the bug report.  We have reviewed the information you have provided above, and there is some additional information we require that will be helpful in our diagnosis of this issue.

Please attach your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) and X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log) to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link below.

Could you please also try to run without any /etc/X11/xorg.conf whatsoever and let X11 autodetect your display and video card? Attach to this bug /var/log/Xorg.0.log from this attempt as well, please.

We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information.

Thanks in advance.

Xorg.0.log

Here the Xorg.0.log. There is no xorg.conf anymore.

I don't know whether this is important, but the radeonhd driver is working, by creating an xorg.conf and writing te following into it:

Section "Device"
	Identifier  "Videocard0"
	Driver      "radeonhd"
EndSection

Actually, we may probably use /var/log/Xorg.0.log from that configuration as well -- it may be interesting what it see, which ati apparently doesn't.

There is no change with the new xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.9.0-54.fc10.i386. I have to
use the radeonhd driver instead.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle.
Changing version to '10'.

More information and reason for this action is here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

No changes here with xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.9.0-59.fc10.i386 on rawhide.

I have this problem as well.

But I have noticed one thing - at first when my monitor switched into standby mode, I have thought, that it may be a problem with my graphics card. So I've booted some old Ubuntu 8.04 LiveCD that was lying around, and it worked. But, when I've rebooted into Fedora, graphic display was working without any problem for some time (after which, if I'd reboot the problem would occur again). It looks, like graphics card need some kind of initialisation, that's not provided by drivers supplied with Fedora 10 instalation.

Ok, i think I've found a workaround. Using information from another, similar bug ( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=465204 ) I've added "nomodeset" to kernel parameters in GRUB, and it looks like it's working now.

No changes here, also not with nomodeset.

xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.9.0-61.fc10.i386

Yeah, that's true, i guess it worked for me because I've booted Ubuntu before.

So, for now i have to "warm up" my graphics card with a LiveCD that's lying on my desk. But it's so annoying, that I'll fight with it until I win or an working update will be available (but I guess the second option will come faster).

And by the way, my graphics card is ATI RV280 [Radeon 9200 SE], at least that's what system-config-display detects.

Seems, like after generating xorg.conf with X --configure and adding two lines in device section like advised on http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18386#c8 it works again.

This is not a problem of the ati driver, it is a gnome-screensaver problem.
See here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=474586

Reporter, if you upgrade your gnome-screensaver to at least gnome-screensaver-2.25.2-1.fc11, does it help?

Thanks for any reply.

Sorry, forgot to close. Bug is fixed in xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.9.0-65.fc11.i386.
