From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7 Description of problem: I have a MSI RADEON 9800 XL graphic card and a 19"TFT screen (MEDION, model name:MD7212AT, TypeNo:EZM19K). The install program probes the graphic card as a ATI RADEON 9800 PRO and generic monotor and X starts but immediately everything freezes. I'm unable to do anything further. Therefore I tried again with the text installer. After everything has been installed the computer reboots normally and then X starts and I can proceed with the installation, BUT after having chosen some settings I have to accept the Terms of use. When I do this and click on next everything freezes. When I then reboot and go into the interactive booting and don't start firstboot I can log in using the graphical screen (in gdm), gnome starts, but after a while everything freezes. Probably the driving for my graphic card doesn't support my card well. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.start the installation 2.after probing, X starts and everything freezes Actual Results: everything freezes Expected Results: the setup continuous normally :-) Additional info:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=109256 seems to be related (although he's talking about a ATI RADEON 9800 and I have a MSI RADEON 9800XL (more info about this card: http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/video/display/20031120092217.html))
The bug reports are related, and there are various others open in bugzilla as well. I have been leaving them open rather than closing them as duplicates for the time being, in order to gather XFree86 log files from people, so that when I dig into the various Radeon issues, I'll have as many details as possible to work with. Can you do a text-mode install, and then do: redhat-config-xfree86 --reconfig Please bugzilla file attach your uncompressed X server log file from after trying to start up X, as well as the output of: lspci -vv lspci -vvn I'll add this to my radeon tracker, and a future update should fix the problems. TIA
I have a notebook DELL Latitude D505 with an LCD screen 1024x768 and after I've installed with "linux text" all the system, when it tries to reboot after the installation is done, it hangs there in a greenish screen and everything is hard locked. I need to push the power on button to change the status. Then I tried to reboot with the installation CD with the options "nousb" or "noprobe" or "nopr" or whatever other option was available. But nothing. I tried to read all the bug list but in no one something useful for me it is said. So that's why I'm disturbing you. What else can I try to do? It says "Probing for monitor type: unknown" but during the installation I selected DELL Notebook 1024x768...but at the end at the reboot after the installation it stopped when trying to activate X.... I'm hopeless... Thanks, Alfonso
