From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040505 Description of problem: Hardware: Advent 7011 with sis 650 graphics chipset On leaving or restarting X the kernel appears to freeze (no response from anything ie. Caps Lock) and the screen is left with vertical lines of the same colour as the screen before it. It includes logging out of gnome, dropping to a terminal (Ctl+Alt+Fx), or shuting down the computer. CPU fan speed goes to full wack, hard shutdown required. Doesn't occur always, perhaps 1 in 2 times. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): XFree86-4.3.0-55 How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Get an Advent 7011. 2. Drop out of X in any way possible. Actual Results: Complete freeze requiring hard reboot. Expected Results: No freeze should occur! Additional info:
Please upgrade to Fedora Core 2 and see if the problem still occurs. If it's still reproduceable, please reopen the bug, and attach your X server log, config file, /var/log/messages as individual uncompressed file attachments using the link below.
Its fine with xorg, seems just to be with XFree86. Don't have the logs anymore. May reinstall fc1 in furture and post them.
