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 above. We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information. Thanks in advance. (resetting needinfo so I don't forget) No further non-security updates are planned for xorg-x11 in RHEL4. If this issue is not addressed in RHEL5 or newer, please update the affected product version and reopen this bug. |
Created attachment 476904 [details] photograph of gdm login screen Description of problem: vt-switching or display resizing on a Radeon 3100 (hp-dc5850-01.rhts.bos.redhat.com) causes corruption of the display in the form of incorrect colors. X server restart will fix the problem; nothing less will suffice. Screenshots don't capture the corruption. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): First noted in RHEL 4.9, confirmed not a regression through retesting in 4.8, in which it's similarly broken. How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Ctrl-Alt-F1 from desktop or gdm 2. Ctrl-Alt-F7 -or- 1. xrandr -s 640x480 -or- 1. gnome-display-properties 2. change resolution Actual results: Trippy colors, like the end of 2001: A Space Odyssey Expected results: Same colors as previously Additional info: RHEL 4 unsurprisingly falls back to vesa with this video hardware, which is significantly newer than RHEL 4.
