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 server log filet from Ubuntu system with working VIA CHROME 9 support
Keep firmly in mind that the attachments are from a Ubuntu system, and not a Fedora system (since I can't get either F9 or F10 to even run the installer on this system, due to severe video/X11 problems). Created attachment 324815 [details]
Post-removal of xorg.conf log of autoconfed X11 startup
That Ubuntu log is showing that it is the openchrome driver, which Fedora also uses. The log says openchrome version 0.2.901 while Fedora 10 has 0.2.903. Fedora 9 shipped with 0.2.902, even newer than the Ubuntu version. Probably your best bet would be to talk to the Fedora openchrome maintainer. Reassigning. You are possibly hitting an XAA bug/regression that shows up with xorg server 1.5 (your ubuntu logs show xserver 1.4, Fedora >= 9 is using xserver 1.5). Please try to add the following line to the device section of your xorg.conf : Option "XaaNoImageWriteRect" I would do that, except that I'm running into this on both the Install and Live CD for F9 and F10. I'm hitting this right now trying to install on a HP 2133 Mininote (via PM900 I think) Standard problems with this driver, corrupted hardware cursor, hanging once x has booted. I've got the live CD working by adding vga=791 3 to the boot line, which takes me to init 3, then rm /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/openchrome_drv.so to remove the openchrome driver so it isn't detected (possibly overkill) then init 5 to boot to the live CD. I hope that I can write a parsable xorg config once the live cd is installed. (In reply to comment #9) > I'm hitting this right now trying to install on a HP 2133 Mininote (via PM900 I > think) > > Standard problems with this driver, corrupted hardware cursor, hanging once x > has booted. This is known and there is a workaround, see a few comments above. The Option "XaaNoImageWriteRect" workaround should help for the hang. The hardware cursor problem is known too, I'll push a new build with hardware cursor disabled by default to workaround this. Thanks for the response, I got through the install and the first boot with the hacks above. I'm going to copy over my working xconfig from Ubuntu 8.10 which has the proper hacks to make OpenChrome work under X 1.5 fwi, I can already tell that F10 is faster than Ubuntu 8.10. I have no idea what they did to the window manager, but it was dog slow. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 446489 *** |
