Your problem may be fixed in the latest rawhide version. Can you test xorg-x11-6.8.2-44 ?
Similar problem using LCD1515 with Radeon9200PRO. Motherboard is A8VDeluxe with AMD A64 3000+. FC4 cannot probe this monitor during installation. Tried backing off to FC3, 64-bit and 32-bit versions and have the same sort of problems. Looks like Fedora is wait and see for me!
David, have you tried the latest rawhide version?
Oliver. No I have not. I am a newbie to Fedora and cannot find a set of iso images that will allow me to install a working system.
Strange, I have an athlon64 + radeon 9200pro and had no problems installing or using it. I'm still using an old CRT though. My motherboard is a Abit KV8 Pro.
Please see bug #161242, and test the workarounds indicated in that report to see if the same problem affects you. Also, try the latest rawhide xorg-x11 to see if that solves the problem or not. Do either of these solutions solve the problem? Please indicate that, and attach your X server log file, config file, and other related details if the problem persists after testing these two items. Setting status to "NEEDINFO_REPORTER", and awaiting requested information.
Closing bug, as the original reporter hasn't replied to the bug since it was filed with any additional information, and there is no response to our requests to test the latest update. Assuming the problem was either transient, or a local issue, or has been fixed in a Fedora update. If the problem does still exist in the latest Fedora update, provide a status update in the bug report, attach your X server log file and config file as individual uncompressed file attachments, and provide any details that might be helpful in further diagnosing the problem, then set the bug report to REOPENED state. Setting state to "CURRENTRELEASE" under the above assumption.
