From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Description of problem: We have a tyan k8w dual opteron board configured as follows: 2P 240 Opteron 8GB memory RHEL3 AMD64 U1 (kernel 2.4.21-9smp) Nvidia NVS 280 AGP video kernel-smp-2.4.21-9.EL When logging into the system at init level 5, KDE/Gnome is unable to load. Sorry, I forgot to include that I was already using NVIDIA's drivers, the same version that is patched for 64bit (1.0-5332). The generic drivers allow the system to boot KDE/Gnome, but do not allow us to use dual-dvi output to drive two flatscreens at 1600x1200. So using the generic XFree drivers are not a solution for RHEL3 AMD64. _________________________________________________________________ I've attached my (working) XF86Config file. I say working because when only 4GB of memory is used (in a 2+2 configuration), kde/gnome loads properly, but when 8GB of memory (4+4) is used, gnome/kde fails to load. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): XFree86-4.3.0-55.EL How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Just Start the Machine and boot into level 5 Actual Results: The system won't boot into Graphical Display when using more than 4GB of RAM. Expected Results: Boot into runlevel 5. Additional info:
Created attachment 98917 [details] working XF86Config
