Description D Huen 2006-04-10 19:45:16 UTC 
Description of problem:
After upgrading kernel to kernel-2.6.16-1.2069_FC4, bootup fails at point when
it would normally switch over to graphical boot.  This problem does not occur
when booting with kernel-2.6.15-1.1833_FC4 or earlier.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xorg-x11-6.8.2-37.FC4.49.2

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select kernel-2.6.16-1.2069_FC4 at startup.
2. Screen goes blank and video feed is lost.
3.
  
Actual results:
Blank screen.

Expected results:
Bootup to graphical login screen.

Additional info:
The machine is accessible via ssh even when screen is blank.  Also, if booting
in text mode (initdefault=3), the boot process will proceed to a working VT
login prompt.  When logged in, startx will start the KDE environment normally.

Apparently different from bug #169637 in that workarounds listed there do not
work here (e.g. commenting out load "dri"). 

Differs also from bug #187627 in that the kernel appears to have booted
successfully (ssh working, etc).
