Description

It's difficult to say for certain, but I believe this bug should be fixed already and will be available in 6.2. Since RHEL 6.2 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as exception or blocker. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Several people at our company have seen this as well. VMware Player seems to trigger the problem quite often. The messages below resulted and the cursor would disappear when it was on one of the two monitors. After the problem showed up, logging out to try to recover resulted in just a black screen and I had to reboot. Hopefully 6.2 resolves this.

From what I understand, this has already been fixed (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35360). My problem is that I cannot use my dual screen setup because of this bug. This has also been reported in Fedora as far back as May 2010 (Bug 593695). If this won't really be fixed in the near future then my solution will be to go for the Nvidia binary drivers as the problem doesn't exist there. It isn't what I want to do but I am out of options it seems. Funny that we are so intent on wanting open drivers so problems can be fixed quickly etc. This problem has been around for quite some time but it is still there. And the only real fix for me is to use binary drivers... This should be fixed in RHEL 6.2, can you confirm? I've not been hit by this bug recently and I'm running 2.6.32-131.17.1.el6.x86_64. Any other data points? Thanks for the updates, closing :) |
