From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.2 Description of problem: After updating the system (via yum) to the latest xorg RPM (6.8.2), my ATI Radeon 7000 graphics card started misbehaving. Namely, my display is a Dell 1905FP LCD screen connected to the graphics card via the digital interface. The monitor would flip the image on/off every 1-2 seconds, as if it doesn't understand the signal. Strangely enough, the analog interface works. Now, I've checked the ChangeLog for the RPM, and there seems to be a couple of patches that may have something to do with this behaviour: xorg-x11-6.8.1-ati-radeon-panel-timing-param-init-130888.patch xorg-x11-6.8.1-ati-radeon-mobility-display-detection-fix2.patch xorg-x11-6.8.1-ati-radeon-dynamic-clocks-fix.patch More to the point, I suspect: xorg-x11-6.8.1-ati-radeon-dynamic-clocks-fix.patch This is rather annoying because: -- I've tried another LCD monitor from Dell, but it behaves identically -- ATI will not replace the card, claiming it's a setup issue -- I don't like the analog interface as the image is crappy. In other words, I really need to get to the bottom of this, and restore the (clock?) behavior that was available with the original xorg RPM that came with FC3 initially. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-6.8.2-1.FC3.13.src.rpm How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use an ATI Radeon 7000 card and a Dell 1905FP LCD 2. Update to xorg-x11-6.8.2-1.FC3.13.src.rpm 3. Start X Actual Results: Image starts flipping on/off, as if the monitor does not understand the signal. Expected Results: Image should just display. Additional info:
If you disable DRI, by commenting out the 'Load "dri"' line in the xorg.conf file, and then restart the X server, is the problem still reproduceable? Please attach your X server config file, and a log file from the server started with DRI, and another without DRI. Setting status to "NEEDINFO", and awaiting requested data.
No, without DRI it works just fine. I've attached the xorg.conf and the Xorg.0.log for the non-DRI case. I'll add the ones with DRI later on today.

Fedora Core 3 has been transferred to the Fedora Legacy project, which will be handling security related issues only. DRI is known to be unstable on Radeon 7000 hardware in X.Org X11 6.8.x, and should be disabled. Users who continue to experience DRI related hangs on Radeon 7000 hardware should upgrade to Fedora Core 4 and update to the latest packages. If the problems still persist, it is recommended to update to Fedora Core 5 test2 which was just released, or to a newer version if available. If the issue still exists in X11R7, which is included in the latest Fedora Core 5 test2 release, then users are encouraged to report the problem to X.Org bugzilla located at http://bugs.freedesktop.org to ensure the upstream developers are aware of the problem, and can diagnose it for a future update. Setting status to "RAWHIDE".
