Don't understand to this end -- are you running two Xorg sessions on one computer via startx on different VTs?

Comment 3 Yanko Kaneti 2008-11-11 01:03:16 UTC
No. startx - VT swtich -> (no output to VGA) - VT switch back to X and VGA working)

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

I believe I have the same problem.  Text mode is fine during boot up, but, once it switches to the GUI I can not display any of the VT's.  My monitor gives the error "video mode not supported".

Similarly when shutting down the system, I get the same error message from my monitor until the system turns off.

From Xorg.0.log I am using X.Org X Server 1.5.3 (Release Date: 5 November 2008) and my graphics card is an (onboard) ATI Technologies Inc Radeon HD 3200 Graphics rev 0

Comment 6 Yanko Kaneti 2009-03-10 19:58:00 UTC
This was apparently fixed somewhere in between the rawhide ati updates
Closing.
