Description darrell pfeifer 2006-02-26 00:15:39 UTC
Description of problem:

On an Inspiron 9300 with the following chipset:

(--) Chipset ATI Radeon Mobility M300 (M22) 5460 (PCIE) found

X fails to start, leaving a black screen with no access to alternate consoles.

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

I installed FC5 test 3 which contained the problem. I also upgraded to the
rawhide of Feb 25, 2006. Test 2 also had the same problem

Actual results:


Expected results:


Additional info:

The X error log shows that it is failing to open /dev/dri/card0

Commenting out the dri module in xorg.conf results in a working X.

system-config-display is overly kind and will re-add the dri module back in,
which results in a non-working X again.

Comment 1 Mike A. Harris 2006-02-27 16:17:39 UTC
After ensuring you have updated to all the latest rpms in fedora devel, please
attach your X server log and config file from the problematic invocation, as
individual uncompressed file attachments using the link below.

Also attach your /var/log/messages from boot time on to the problem occurance,
and the output of:

lspci -vvn
rpm -qa |grep xorg |sort
uname -a

Thanks in advance.

Comment 8 darrell pfeifer 2006-02-28 01:04:57 UTC
Updated to latest Fedora devel (no X stuff or kernel changed)
Attached X server log that failed and also an X server log with DRI removed.
Attached the X config file. The only difference between the non-workging and
working versions was commenting out the dri module to get a working X.
Attached the /var/log/messages. It doesn't show anything unusual. I booted at
runlevel 3, did a startx from root. Had to reboot via power button after X fails.
Attached the lspci, and rpm output.

uname -a gives:

Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.15-1.1977_FC5 #1 Thu Feb 23 14:53:53 EST 2006
i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

This kernel version encounted the grubby scriptlet problem in the rpm file, so I
edited in the grub boot paragraph by hand. 


Comment 9 Mike A. Harris 2006-03-06 22:36:01 UTC
Ok, this appears to be a bug in the radeon kernel DRM module.  We're going to
remove r300+ support from the kernel module, as the userland driver is
unstable and also not being shipped...
