From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113 Description of problem: Standard Dell Optiplex GX150 with 16MB ATI Rage AGP card installs Fedora Core 2 without a problem. System behavior is expected throughout the entire user experience until you logout of Gnome or KDE. Upon logout the screen flickers, then blanks, then the Dell P991 monitor states that the Monitor is on, but that the input signal is beyond the scan range. The system is frozen afterwards, no amount of keyboard escape will work, Control-Alt-Backspace or Control-Alt-Delete. The only path out is to press the power button and force the power supply to turn off. Upon restart the system complains about an unclean shutdown and prompts to fsck the root filesystem. The entire experience up to this point is what I expect to see from Fedora Core, it's only just past logout that it fails. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): X11R6.7.0 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Start System 2.Login to X as user 3.Logout ----> Fail. Actual Results: System unresponsive to keyboard input, montior states "out of sync range" Expected Results: Return to the graphical login screen for a new user to log in. This screen does appear normally after a power-on, before the first and last login for the machine. Additional info: Dell GX150 - 8ZQMQ11. Full install of Fedora Core 2 from FTP, selected standard workstation install and added a small amount of extra packages for exploration of distribution. Compeltely vanilla first-time-install, auto-partition, remove all prior partitions, rpm installation and system startup ran perfectly, with no faults.
I had almost the same problem with ATI Rage Pro Ultra 32 Mb video card on FC2. But a few logouts were sucsesful. After comenting Load dri in /etc/X11/Xorg.config all logouts are fine. But Tuxracer became very slow. :-) andrew
That did it! Thanks!
While disabling DRI may work around the problem, the video driver should really be detecting an invalid configuration (if that is the case) and disabling DRI itself, so we should try to reproduce at least. I have both a Dell P991 monitor, and several ATI Rage 128 16Mb cards, and can investigate this sometime in the future, and possibly fix it or work around it in the driver. Thanks.
Changing component to "xorg-x11" (We do not ship XFree86)
I have similar problems with ATI Radeon 9800Pro AGP on an ASUS AV333 (Via KT333 chipset) motherboard. System freezes on switching to a virtual text console or shutting down X. The error is always reproducible. I'm using FC2 with a 2.6.6 kernel, but had the same problem while running a 2.6 kernel on FC1 also. The error occurs with all versions of the 2.6 kernel, and also regardless of whether I use the radeon driver bundled with X.org or ATi's binary only fglrx drivers (both 3.7.6 and 3.9.0 versions). I've tried disabling DRI as mentioned above, but not had any success. I've already posted a rather longish description of the same problem at http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=2929 Regards, Vinu.
I would be willing to turn DRI back on and test using the hardware I have here if it would lead to a "real fix" versus a "shotgun fix".
I have a rage 128 that does this same exact thing. Has anyone heard back from Mike Harris if he was able to dup this or fix it maybe?
I have the same problem with Rage 128 PF/PRO. Commenting the Load "dri" line solves the problem, but I also had success with changing /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf line AlwaysRestartServer=true And I got accelerated 3d!

This seems to be related to SIGHUP'ing the server and DRI. I can reproduce this with the FC2 kernel (2.6.5-1.358), but updating to any newer kernel from FC2-updates or rawhide solves the problem. Please try to install a newer kernel and see if that fixes it.
For me too, a newer kernel fixes the problem.
