From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.2) Gecko/20040804 Galeon/1.3.17 Description of problem: As soon as X is restarted the virtual terminals have horizontal stripes going across them and no text appears (although the blinking cursor moves around the screen in the expected fashion as if things were working correctly). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-6.8.1-12.FC3.1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Turn the machine on. 2. Let it boot and start X and wait for a login. 3. Press Ctrl-alt-backspace. 4. Press Ctrl-alt-F1. Actual Results: Screen with horizontal stipes going across it and a blinking cursor. Expected Results: Normal virtual terminal login text. Additional info: lspci output for the card: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage 128 RF/SG AGP
Still seeing this (just in case it matter the kernel is kernel-2.6.10-1.741_FC3) although I have now realised it is resolution and depth related. The lines don't happen with resolutions lower than 1400x1050 and will also not occur if the depth is not 24. Just for the record the lines appear to be vertical rather than horizontal.

xorg-x11-6.8.1.904 will be released for Fedora Core 3 when 6.8.2 is finalized. Please try the rawhide xorg-x11 to see if the problem is resolved in the new release, and provide a status update. Also, if the problem persists in rawhide xorg-x11, file a bug report in the X.Org bugzilla at http://bugs.freedesktop.org in the "xorg" component. Once your bug report is filed in X.Org bugzilla, paste the URL here and Red Hat will track the issue in the X.Org tracker, and review any fixes that become available for consideration in future updates. Thanks in advance.
Setting status to "NEEDINFO", awaiting upstream bug URL and rawhide xorg testing results.
