FWIW, on the RS780M machine I saw a "melting screen" (faded to white) one or two times, graphics and kbd were hosed but it was pingable afterwards. I don't know if this is related. I also have issues with the radeon driver on my two ATI cards, and it is related to bugs in the kernel-2.6.38-0.rc5.git5.1.fc15 release. The kernel -rc4 and -rc6 (fc16) both work fine. This is an issue with the F15 Alpha RC2 LiveCD also. Request radeon fixes from 2.6.38-rc6 kernel are patched to F15, or the F15 release is moved to 2.6.38-rc6 kernel. I have an ATI 5650 mobile video card in Acer laptop, and ATI 4870 PCI-E card in my desktop, both fail to load in anything other than Basic Video mode with F15 Alpha. 2.6.38-rc6-git6 is already submitted: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/kernel-2.6.38-0.rc6.git6.1.fc15 It has been in updates-testing for a while, and -rc6-git4 was there earlier; is that repo not enabled on your machines? Is that package for updates-testing only available through F15 Alpha installs? I see the fedora-release-rawhide package has jumped up to F16, and I can't work out any way to keep getting F15 packages onto my current F14 install? Am I missing a .repo file somewhere? F15 has moved well beyond 2.6.38-rc6 at this point. I'm going to close this bug out. If you are still seeing these issues on the latest F15 or F16 kernel, please reopen. |
