Description Daniel Qarras 2009-12-08 20:59:05 UTC 
Description of problem:
After I installed Fedora 12 I tried also runlevel 3 + startx and it worked all ok. Now I see that with Fedora 12 + latest updates (2009-12-08) if I boot to runlevel 3 (with nomodeset) X fails to start complaining that /dev/fb0 is missing. (/dev/fb exists and is of mode 644.)

I'm not sure is this a udev or driver issue - I tried with the F12 release kernel and it didn't help so it seems clear that kernel is innocent.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora 12 + latest updates (2009-12-08)

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot up with parameters "3 nomodeset"
2. Log in
3. startx
  
Actual results:
X fails to start

Expected results:
X startx

Additional info:
Please find X log and dmesg attached after a failed startx.
