RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Xorg log of failed session

Description of problem:
The xorg log is filled with dozens of:

[    28.650] (EE) FBDEV(1): FBIOPUTCMAP: Invalid argument

Which looks to be similar to another bug traced back to plymouth.  In any case Xorg fails to start.

7.5 had no issues.  Downgrade to 7.5 packages (under Additional info) restores working condition

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xorg-x11-drv-fbdev-0.5.0-1.el7
xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-1.0.15-1.el7
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.20.1-5.1.el7
xorg-x11-drv-vesa-2.4.0-1.el7
plymouth-0.8.9-0.31.20140113.el7

How reproducible:
100% on systems with an nVidia video card.  0% on systems with an intel card.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Update to 7.6 on a system with an nVidia card
2.reboot
3.X fails to start

Actual results:
X fails to load GDM and hangs "waiting for plymouth" systemd service
(EE) FBDEV(1): FBIOPUTCMAP: Invalid argument

Expected results:
System boots to X as before.

If I run this command:
yum downgrade xorg-x11-drv-nouveau xorg-x11-server-Xorg xorg-x11-drv-qxl.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-vesa xorg-x11-drv-dummy xorg-x11-drv-v4l xorg-x11-drv-ati xorg-x11-drv-vmware xorg-x11-drv-fbdev xorg-x11-drv-intel.x86_64

and reboot X starts back up again as expected.

Comment 4 Pat Riehecky 2018-11-16 17:01:33 UTC 
In general there seems to be a lot of framebuffer bits on the fedora plymouth changelog.

Comment 6 Pat Riehecky 2018-11-20 14:27:25 UTC 
This bug is not present in Fedora 29.
Comment 7 Pat Riehecky 2018-11-20 14:28:22 UTC 
The bug remains with the elrepo kernels:
kernel-ml-4.19.2-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64
kernel-lt-4.4.163-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64
Comment 8 Pat Riehecky 2018-11-20 15:46:11 UTC 
Bug resolved by rebuilding xorg-x11-server-1.20.3-1.fc29 [1] for 7.6.

With this in mind it appears to be an Xorg server bug rather than fbdev.

Comment 9 Pat Riehecky 2018-11-21 16:44:24 UTC 
I did a bunch of scratch builds and isolated the issue down to:
0001-linux-Make-platform-device-probe-less-fragile.patch

xorg built without that patch works as expected.
Comment 10 Pat Riehecky 2018-11-21 17:11:13 UTC 
Upstream commit https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit/0816e8fca6194dfb4cc94c3a7fcb2c7f2a921386

Seems to have the same goals.  A test build with that patch instead of the RHEL7.6 version works as expected.
Comment 12 Arthur Benoit 2019-03-14 11:57:59 UTC 
Note: this is seen on the Lenovo P50 corporate laptops running RHEL-7.6 CSB release.
Comment 16 Bohdan Milar 2019-05-24 14:13:36 UTC 
I only have access to P50 notebooks (my and in lab) with GM107GLM [Quadro M1000M] [10DE:13B1] graphics.

I tried with a fresh installation of RHEL 7.6 (xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.20.1-3.el7.x86_64) and RHEL 7 CSB (xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.20.1-6.jx1.el7.x86_64), but I was unable to reproduce the described problem - docked/undocked, with/without external screen - X started every time without problem.

So I am unable to confirm whether the fix solved the original issue.
Comment 18 Pat Riehecky 2019-07-29 15:46:47 UTC
