Description Tim Besard 2008-11-26 14:21:18 UTC 
Description of problem:
When booting Fedora 10 (Beta, Preview, Installer, Live or OS), the screen corrupts as soon as X gets loaded. At first, I'm still able to move the mouse (it displays the "loading" animation), but then it locks. Some seconds later, I am able to move the mouse again.
While X pseudo-crashed (unresponsive, but mouse still alive), the computer sometimes reacts on signals: I've once been able to make Fedora shutdown correctly by pressing the Shutdown button at my case.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.6.0-54.fc10


How reproducible:
Perfectly reproducible, in every case.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot Fedora Installer, Live or OS without modesetting disabled
2. Watch and enjoy Plymouth's animations (OS) or text at high resolution (installer)
3. As soon as X gets loaded, corruption occurs.
  
Actual results:
The background of the screen gets totally corrupted, but the mouse is still alive.

Additional info:
Backtrace and error message:
[mi] EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop.

Comment 7 Tim Besard 2008-12-01 23:07:32 UTC 
kernel-2.6.27.7-132.fc10 (in koji) partially fixes this issue, addressed by Dave Arlie [1], but when using this kernel, Xserver get's very laggy when the desktop contains open GTK apps. Using this kernel with nomodeset option and compiz enabled causes the desktop to corrupt into one equally coloured entity.

Comment 8 Bug Zapper 2009-11-18 07:59:17 UTC 
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bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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'.

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 10'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 10 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:

Comment 9 Bug Zapper 2009-12-18 06:56:59 UTC 
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.
