This is a duplicate of Bug 138503
I see this is an AMD64 system. Does this problem occur both with 32bit OS installation and 64bit OS installation? Please indicate which you've tried, and which works/does not work. Also attach your X server config file, log file, and /var/log/messages as individual uncompressed file attachments, using the link below. This may be a dupe of bug #138503 but I would like to see the details first before drawing that conclusion.
Setting status to "NEEDINFO", awaiting information requested in comment #2 above.
Created attachment 110488 [details] xorg configuration file Altough my machine is 64bit I'm still using 32bit fedora on it, waiting to switch to 64bit as soon as all the issues I have are fixed (mainly some sw not ported to 64 bit)
Created attachment 110489 [details] xorg log file (bzip2 compressed) I'm sorry I have to attach the file bzcompressed because my dsl has problem on uploading and the submit aborts after a while if the file is too big :(
My /var/log/messages is quite huge, please specify which part is relevant for you. Thanks, Alex
To answer your first question (sorry if I do so many followups), I only tested with 32bit fedora, and not with the 64bit version.
Ok, make sure your system is fully updated with all FC3 update rpms, including the kernel, and that you're rebooted into the latest official FC3 kernel. Then please upgrade to rawhide xorg-x11-6.8.1.903 or later, as there have been a number of radeon driver fixes since FC3, and this release will be released for FC3 in the very near future, so it is important to know if you still experience the issue in what will become 6.8.2 soon. For /var/log/messages, just reboot the system and then after the X problem is triggered, attach the messages log from boot onward, so we can see everything that has happened since boot. This should ensure the log file is not too huge. Thanks in advance. Setting status to "NEEDINFO", awaiting feedback of testing of rawhide xorg-x11.
Hello Mike, upgrading to xorg-x11-6.8.1.903 solved the issue :) I suppose the bug can be closed now. Thanks, Alex
