Description Eric Blake 2011-02-23 17:28:15 UTC
Description of problem:
I booted from the Fedora 15 graphics test day LiveCD.  On the gdm screen, I have use of the mouse and keyboard.  But the moment I log in to gnome-shell, the shell graphics appear but all input is frozen (no keyboard or mouse response).  Even attempts to do ctrl-alt-f2 or ctrl-alt-del are ignored; it took a hard power cycle to recover.

When booting the same machine into F14, I see the following from lspci -nn:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc RV370 5B60 [Radeon X300 (PCIE)] [1002:5b60]
01:00.1 Display controller [0380]: ATI Technologies Inc RV370 [Radeon X300SE] [1002:5b70]

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. boot the livecd, and let gdm autologin the liveuser
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
input is frozen the moment gnome-shell starts

Expected results:
usable shell

Additional info:
This may be related to bug 697807.
Given that I booted from a livecd, the log is lost the moment I reboot; and given that I have no input, I have no way to get at a log.

I've also tried booting into runlevel 3, which gives me full use of a console.  But when I typed startx (as liveuser), I was able to move the mouse while just the background was showing, but input once again froze the moment the top black bar from gnome-shell (applications, date, and icons) appeared.

Booting into basic video mode works (and selects the fallback mode, of course).  But that's not testing my Radeon card to its full capabilities :)

Next, I tried:
Booting into runlevel 5, but cancelling before gdm could auto-login
ctrl-alt-f2 to get a root console
ln -sf /bin/false /usr/libexec/gnome-session-is-accelerated
ctrl-alt-f1 back to gdm
log in as liveuser - that takes me to a fallback mode, with no lockup

Comment 2 Eric Blake 2011-02-23 17:50:39 UTC
using the steps in comment 2 to boot into a fallback mode, if I then open a terminal and type:

gnome-shell --replace

once again, I have mouse response while gnome-panel disappears, but the moment the gnome-shell black bar appears, all input is lost

Comment 3 Eric Blake 2011-02-23 18:47:31 UTC
While running the gstreamer-properties test, I got a kernel panic; may be the same issue?

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-07 17:35:11 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached 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, you are encouraged to click on
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that
version of Fedora.

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:
