Description

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. First of all, from reading of the referred email report, it seems that you actually don't want to use this thing as such (for zooming of the screen), but just as a way how to overcome some problems with your driver, right? I think that http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.general/378356 is right and zooming went way of Dodo with KMS being introduced (but I cannot find any evidence for this statement ATM, sorry). Which leads to two more questions ... if you switch off KMS (by putting nomodeset on your kernel command line either in grub menu for one startup or in /etc/grub.conf permanently), does the functionality returns? Also, do other Ctrl-Alt- key combinations work (especially Ctrl-Alt-F2 for switching to console? Wouldn't it help in your situation as well)? For the resolution of your underlying issue, please add drm.debug=0x04 to the kernel command line, restart computer, and when the problem happens, dig out the following (you may need to switch to console and/or get into your computer via ssh) and attach * your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf, if available), * a fresh copy of X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log), * output of xrandr --query --verbose, * output of the dmesg command, and * system log (/var/log/messages) to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link above. We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information. Thanks in advance. MC: You are right that I have a more serious problem than this one. Unfortunately, it isn't reproducible. If I get more information, I will start another bugzilla entry. Back to the zoom problem... If zooming (odd term for cycling between active modes) is no longer, that ought to be documented. If it is, that's the end of this bz: case solved. But the feature is documented: see the description of Option "DontZoom" in xorg.conf(5). I tried nomodeset and zooming still didn't happen. Yes, CTRL-ALT-F2 etc. do work as they should, with or without "nomodeset". When the screen has blanked in the problematic way, CTRL-ALT-F2 does not help. To be honest, I have no idea that zoom would help (but sshing in from another machine and doing the xrandr commands to switch mode does work). I noticed that when I look at the output of xev, and press CTRL-ALT-KP+, I get a keyrelease event with ksym XF86_Next_VMode (as shown above), but I don't get a keypress event for it. I wonder where the keypress event is going? I notice a similar behaviour if I type CTR-ALT-F1 (which switches VTs to the one that happens to be current). I tried zoom on my notebook (64-bit Fedora 13 on Thinkpad x61t (intel video)). Same non-behaviour. So this isn't only a radeon problem. Is that enough information to work on the zoom problem? This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 13. 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 '13'. 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 13'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 13 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: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 13 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2011-06-25. Fedora 13 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. |
