Created attachment 895810 [details] Xorg log Description of problem: User is dropped to tty1 just before graphical login Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.15.99.902-6.20140428.fc21.x86_64 How reproducible: Consistent Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot up fedora rawhide on a laptop with two graphics card (Intel HD & GeForce-GT635m in my case) 2. Update to recent xserver 3. Reboot Actual results: Boot process stops at tty1 login. Attempt to get graphical environment with startx fails (see attached xorg.0.log) Expected results: To see graphical login screen Additional info: ASUS N56VJ Laptop with Intel HD4000 and nVidia GeForce GT-635M This looks like a repeat of a bug I filed earlier. It got resolved by an update. it's back again. cat /var/log/xorg.0.log | grep \(EE\) --> (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.

Mileage seems to be different on other tty login sessions (CTRL+ALT+Fn): On a different session, user perceives login event sound before seeing a graphic screen with a sad/damaged computer icon saying "something went wrong, please logout"
kernel-3.15.0-0.rc6.git0.1.fc21 et al Same story. Sometimes startx works, sometimes it crashes ... with the same error message (above)

Do you get any backtrace and/or crash logging from abrt? The Xorg log doesn't tell much, unfortunately.
nothing from abrt. I do get series of "reporting 6 4 1 9, reporting 6 4 8 9, reporting 6 5 8 9" kind-of dump just before the server terminates (sometimes). Not sure what those mean. I have also noticed series of .serverauth.XXXX files on my home directory (where XXXX are numbers). I have about 42 of those at the moment. I will attempt running X with gdb.
I ran a complete reinstallation of Fedora Rawhide and performed fresh updates. Everything has been working fine for the past three days. I am, therefore, skeptical about this report. This issue probably sprang up as a result of a faulty update in the previous installation (where dnf crashed before completing an update). In any case, I cannot provide more information under the present scenario I will be closing this. Sorry for the inconvenience
I get the same crash with the same log messages when Xorg tries to start after I upgraded from F20 to F21 using fedup. No idea what's going wrong here, or how to get my X session back.
I spoke too soon -- I'm not sure what specifically I changed, but after a reboot the crash seems to have resolved itself.
So may be a bug in the graphics driver. What cards do you all use?
This is a Dell XPS 15 Touch (2014 hidpi version), which has an Intel HD 4600 GPU as well as an nVidia GPU (but I uninstalled nouveau so that X is forced to use the Intel driver).
