Description of problem: My laptop hangs right after rhgb terminates and X is about to start up. This is a HP nc8000 laptop with a Radeon 9600 based graphics card. The graphics card was set up to use the VESA driver, but it seems to be working alright if I just change to use the radeon driver in the config file. Going to test if that also resolves this hang. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Setting it to use the radeon driver let me get as far as firstboot, which promptly tried to set it back to the vesa driver. After setting it back to radeon again and continuing it hung once more. Going to the console I could see that firstboot was still running and alt+f8 brought me back to it. Firstboot then let me choose between 640x480 and 800x600 resolutions but it still recognizes the screen as a LCD 1600x1200 as set up during the install
Even more confusing. When I log in right after firstboot is finished I see that the setup is 1400x1050 and that's the max listed with xrandr.
Ok. I goofed. 1400x1050 is the max under windows too, I was sure it was a 1600x1200 display, but there you go. Still the default setup using fedora core test 3 isn't really optimal.
