Xorg.0.log for ATI Radeon X800 (R420) with KMS
After booting into run level 3, executing 'startx' leads to a mouse pointer appearing in front of a black background. However, after a moment, the monitor (21" CRT HP A4576A) powers off. The system does not respond to ctrl-alt-del. Nevertheless, it is still possible to shut down the system in a controlled manner by pressing the soft power button.
0) Similar issue with a "Radeon RV250 [Mobility FireGL 9000]" on an i686 system. "nomodeset" seems to be a workaround here too. 1) Not sure if its kernel related per se. I now see identical issues on both kernel-2.6.31.1-48.fc12.i686 and kernel-2.6.31.1-56.fc12.i686. At least I first noticed this with kernel-2.6.31.1-56.fc12.i686, but as kernel-2.6.31.1-48.fc12.i686 didn't trigger this issue before, I suppose one of the xorg packages that came in the same batch of updates as kernel-2.6.31.1-56.fc12.i686 (e.g. xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.13.0-0.6.20090929git7968e1fb8.fc12, xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.6.99.903-1.fc12, and xorg-x11-server-common-1.6.99.903-1.fc12) could also be the culprit.

Output of dmesg for ATI Radeon X800 (R420) with KMS and drm.debug=0x0f

Issue seems to be resolved here (with a "Radeon RV250 [Mobility FireGL 9000]" on an i686 system) with xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.6.99.903-2.fc12.i686 and friends (i.e., the current Rawhide packages). Can reporter confirm? |
Description of problem: For a current "rawhide" system sporting an "ATI Radeon X800 SE (R430) (PCIE)", X is broken when KMS is enabled. The system boots up as expected but gets stuck in a cycle of failed attempts to bring up X/GDM. Log file /var/log/messages exhibits the following recurrent section: .. kernel: integrated sync not supported kernel: [drm:drm_mode_getfb] *ERROR* invalid framebuffer id kernel: [drm] DAC-10: set mode 1400x1050@75 2d kernel: integrated sync not supported kernel: integrated sync not supported kernel: integrated sync not supported abrtd: Directory 'ccpp-1254287712-1984' creation detected abrtd: Lock file '/var/cache/abrt/ccpp-1254287712-1984.lock' is locked by process 2024 abrt: saved core dump of pid 1984 to /var/cache/abrt/ccpp-1254287712-1984/coredump gdm-simple-greeter[2022]: Gtk-WARNING: cannot open display: :3.0 gdm-simple-slave[1983]: WARNING: Child process -2005 was already dead. gdm-simple-slave[1983]: WARNING: Unable to kill D-Bus daemon gdm-binary[1790]: WARNING: GdmDisplay: display lasted 2.660207 seconds abrtd: Getting local universal unique identification... kernel: integrated sync not supported abrtd: Crash is in database already abrtd: Already saved crash, deleting... kernel: integrated sync not supported .. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.31.1-56.fc12.x86_64 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot kernel 2.6.31.1-56.fc12 with active KMS. Actual results: When X is supposed to be launched, the system enters a cycle of failed attempts to bring up GDM. Expected results: X starts up successfully, and the GDM login panel appears on the screen. Additional info: Booting the system with option "nomodeset" allows to start X without issues.
