I can't figure out what this could possibly have to do with amavisd-new. Reassigning to xorg-x11-drv-nouveau, although it might be better to assign it to kernel. (In reply to comment #1) > I can't figure out what this could possibly have to do with amavisd-new. > Reassigning to xorg-x11-drv-nouveau, although it might be better to assign it > to kernel. I must have accidentally mouse scrolled the entry. My bad. On a follow up, removing vga=792 works around the problem. Does it work with vga=792 before nouveau kicks in (e.g. if you boot to runlevel 3)? If so, do you have the same problem with nv, or the proprietary driver? Can we get your X logs, just in case they prove useful? Thanks. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers Reporter, could you please reply to the previous question? If you won't reply in one month, I will have to close this bug as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Thank you. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers I currently do not have F11 installed on that system. Give me a couple of days and I will do so, and provide a response. > Does it work with vga=792 before nouveau kicks in Yes. > do you have the same problem with nv No. > or the proprietary driver? Not installed. > Can we get your X logs, just in case they prove useful? Yes. I have generated several as follows: Before yum update (fresh install), nouveau with xinit, nv with Xorg -config /root/xorg.conf.new after Xorg -configure: Xorg.nouveau.fc11.log Xorg.nv.fc11-configure.log After update: Xorg.nv.fc11-system-config-display.log I don't include the updated nouveau/nv Xorg.0.log as the behaviour is the same: nouveau has garbled display after X launches, but returns to normal after (or a clear command will fix the garble); nv driver provides black display, but switching between terminals works fine, as does a C-M-Backspace to exit X. The nv driver works fine with system-config-display (installed to perform the task). I will also attach the kickstart file used to install the system (T61p Thinkpad) and the /var/log/dmesg file.

Since this bugzilla report was filed, there have been several major updates in various components of the Xorg system, which may have resolved this issue. Users who have experienced this problem are encouraged to upgrade their system to the latest version of their packages. For packages from updates-testing repository you can use command yum upgrade --enablerepo='*-updates-testing' Alternatively, you can also try to test whether this bug is reproducible with the upcoming Fedora 12 distribution by downloading LiveMedia of F12 Beta available at http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/ . By using that you get all the latest packages without need to install anything on your computer. For more information on using LiveMedia take a look at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraLiveCD . Please, if you experience this problem on the up-to-date system, let us now in the comment for this bug, or whether the upgraded system works for you. If you won't be able to reply in one month, I will have to close this bug as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Thank you. [This is a bulk message for all open Fedora Rawhide Xorg-related bugs. I'm adding myself to the CC list for each bug, so I'll see any comments you make after this and do my best to make sure every issue gets proper attention.] (In reply to comment #12) > Since this bugzilla report was filed, there have been several major updates in > various components of the Xorg system, which may have resolved this issue. They have indeed, thank you. Feel free to close this report. Fedora 12 fixed this bug, for clarification. It was still present last week, before I upgraded my laptop to FC12. |
Description of problem: From startx (init 3), or init 5, with framebuffer enabled (I haven't tested with it disabled: vga=792) on a t61p, when X is running I get garbled (wavey line) display on text terminal (it is usable, but only typing blindly). Steps to Reproduce: 1. Nvidia Quadro FX 570M 2. Nouveau driver (with or without xorg.conf) 3. From runlevel 3, run startx, or init 5 (with gdm) 4. Switch with C-M-Del-F{2..6} to text terminal Actual results: Garbled display on text terminal Expected results: Text terminal Login prompt (with /etc/issue text)
