From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031030 Description of problem: The system stop responding at graphical logon screen after press Language button when using the new video driver comes from Fedora Core 1 for ATI Radeon 9600. If I choose VESA video driver, everything is OK, but for ATI Radeon 9600 video driver, the system will stop responding either after press the Language button or at the GNOME startup process. In other word, if I use ATI Radeon 9600 video driver, the video driver works, but I cannot change the default language setting at the graphical logon screen and GNOME cannot startup. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run redhat-config-xfree86, in the Hardware tab, click the second button "Configure..." to change the video driver from the default VESA driver (generic) to ATI Radeon 9600 and press OK. 2. Restart X at runlevel 5, so the graphical logon screen appears. 3. Click Language button on the left-bottom corner. Actual Results: A white window appears, but no languages list in it, the system lose responding... Expected Results: The window should list all possible languages. Additional info: According to Fedora Core 1 Release Notes, the driver for ATI Radeon 9600 is a new part of the system, for previous version of Red Hat Linux 9, by default, X cannot work on the card, people has such video card have to download and install driver from ATI website manually. So if the driver be fully test on all environment?
same problem happens with nvidia nv11gl quadro2 mxr/ex
