I have a lenovo T60 with a X1400 RV515/M54 Radeon with starts only with xorg!
Wayland gives a garbled display 
so exactly the same problem as mentioned above!
Why is the status of this bug:  severity unspecified?

Comment 2 microbit 2017-07-04 20:26:17 UTC

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2017-11-16 19:42:07 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 25. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '25'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 25 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2017-12-12 10:27:22 UTC
Fedora 25 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-12-12. Fedora 25 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

Comment 6 Amit Shah 2018-04-03 10:45:00 UTC
Still happens with F28, display still garbled like the attached file.

Tried with `weston-launch`, and that display is garbled as well.

Comment 7 Walter 2019-03-14 16:06:27 UTC
F29: Still same issue with Wayland on T60 with this Radeon card. Trying to install F29 with Anaconda produces an unusable distorted screen, so installation must be done using complicated circumventing procedures. Then the login screen will be garbled, making the ystem only usable after deactivating Wayland.
T60 is still quite a popular ThinkPad it seems, but the Wayland issue is still not resolved since encountered in F25. Something should be done about it urgently, as it will completely put off less technically inclined users from using Fedora Linux.

Comment 8 Ben Cotton 2019-05-02 19:47:13 UTC
