Description Giuseppe Castagna 2006-04-30 09:22:00 UTC
Description of problem:

After upgrading to the update-testing version of the server, X becomes
unusable since the screen becomes full of "snow" persisting over the image
making it nearly impossible to read.

I have a

ATI X800L, with viewsonic LCD panel VG191 connected via dvi.

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

xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.0.1-9.fc5.1.x86_64.rpm


Additional info:

I attach the two log files, one for the working configuration (the server coming
with the distribution) and the other for the one that does not work.

You've indicated the following:

> I attach the two log files, one for the working configuration (the server
> coming with the distribution) and the other for the one that does not work.

I see 2 log files attached, one in comment #1, and another in comment #2.
The second one is for the case which you claim "works flawlessly", which
you seem to indicate in the comment above "one for the working configuration
(server coming with the distribution).

The first log you claim is for the case in which it does not work, but you
don't indicate where that server came from.

The diff of the log files shows that you are using 2 different X servers
built on different dates.

Please specify the full details of the problem you are having, and exactly
what X server name-version-release is working for you, and which one is
not, and where you got them.  Also attach the X config file for both
cases.

Once we have that info, we'll review the issue again.

Thanks in advance.

Closing per lack of response to previous request for information.
This bug was originally filed against a much earlier version of Fedora
Core, and significant changes have taken place since the last version
for which this bug is confirmed.

Note that FC3 and FC4 are supported by Fedora Legacy for security
fixes only.  Please install a still supported version and retest.  If
it still occurs on FC5 or FC6, please reopen and assign to the correct
version.  Otherwise, if this a security issue, please change the
product to Fedora Legacy.  Thanks, and we are sorry that we did not
get to this bug earlier.
