Description bob_inge_a 2006-02-25 01:01:48 UTC
Description of problem:
After reaching runlevel 5 (Diamond 2000 3D video adapter) everything runs great 
until a virtual console is opened, telinit 3 is run from a terminal, or the 
system is shut down.  Instead of a text screen, I get a graphics image -- a 
pink border around a rectangle filled with vertical blue and black stripes, but 
an effort to place text into the rectangle is seen in a garbled form.  I 
intalled Fedora Core 2 and the system runs correctly, so it appears to be a 
problem between X11 and the kernel with this video card.  I reinstalled FC4 
several times from several different sets of disks, and this unwanted behavior 
occurred every time.  If I boot to runlevel 3, things are normal until I start 
X.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
See above.  On my machine, any action to get to what should be a text screen 
from an X session (terminal 7) results in a garbled screen.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.start X
2.open a virtual console, run telinit 3, or shut down
3.
  
Actual results:


Expected results:


Additional info: I know this is weird.  I see no bug about it, and my post on
fedora forum produced no insight into the problem.  I would think it was 
hardware related except that the hardware runs fine in FC 2.  I would much 
rather be running FC4 for its software and appearance.  I hope FC 5 will not 
have this problem.
