Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL-6.8-20160323.0
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Ensure the 'nomodeset' kernel parameters are not set in your bootloader
configuration.
2. Ensure the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf does not exist, or is a valid file that
uses the valid driver.
3. Shut your system down entirely, then start it up again, in console mode.
When the boot prompt appears, hit a key to allow you to change the boot
options. Hit the 'e' key on the default entry, select the kernel options
line, hit 'e' again, and add simply a space and the number '3' to the end
of the line. Then boot with that change.
1. The system will boot to the console. Log in as a normal user.
2. Start X: startx.
Actual results:
X does not start unless you have mesa-libEGL installed. mesa-libEGL is not installed by default on -Client and -Workstation variants.
[ 20.825] ABI class: X.Org ANSI C Emulation, version 0.4
[ 20.825] (II) glamor: OpenGL accelerated X.org driver based.
(EOF)
Expected results:
X should work properly.
[ 21.268] ABI class: X.Org ANSI C Emulation, version 0.4
[ 21.268] (II) glamor: OpenGL accelerated X.org driver based.
[ 21.417] (II) glamor: EGL version 1.4 (DRI2):
[ 21.426] (II) RADEON(0): glamor detected, initialising EGL layer.
(...)
Perhaps xorg-x11-drv-ati should depend on mesa-libEGL?
