+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #206912 +++ Description of problem: There are video card issues in two systems, x86_64 and i386. Details are as below: x86_64: video card: Elsa GeForce 6800GS 128M,256bit Motherboard:MSI K9N Platinum 940pin Problem description: The video card can only support text installation for all OS, such as RHEL4,5Beta,FC5,FC6 test2/3. After installation, we need to update its driver to 'vesa' in /etc/X11/xorg.conf manually otherwise X cannot be started. After the update, X can be started and used. i386: Video Card: RadeonX550 128M, 128bit Motherboard:MSI K8T Neo Series Problem description: After graphic installtion system can't start X. Both FC6 and RHEL5 system. Edit file /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Modify Videocard Driver from 'radeon' to 'vesa'. Then start X successfully. View 'system-config-display'---'Hardware', show 'Unknown video card'. -- Additional comment from ndai on 2006-09-17 23:05 EST -- Appreciate if somebody will confirm a spec of the two video cards which can work fine in our OS and supported by the two motherboards. Thanks very much. -- Additional comment from cmarco on 2006-09-24 13:59 EST -- GeForce part might be related to bug 184006, which is closed and tracked upstream (see https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6212 ). However, everyone I see mention fedora only as other distributions seems to work https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6212#c12 -- Additional comment from ajackson on 2006-10-03 11:59 EST -- Please, file separate bugs for separate issues. Otherwise they're impossible to track.
This bug is for the Radeon X550 configuration in the initial report. Please attach the output of 'lspci' and 'kudzu -p -c video', and the Xorg.0.log file from the failed startup using the radeon driver.
Reporter, please attach the information requested in comment #1.
Created attachment 139794 [details] run 'lspci' Sorry for late response. Pls check attachment.
Created attachment 139795 [details] run 'kudzu -p -c video'
Created attachment 139796 [details] /var/log/Xorg.0.log
What X log do you get from attempting to start with the radeon driver?
Created attachment 139931 [details] eerror Xorg.0.log Is this?
That certainly looks like a successful X startup. So I'm a bit confused.
Created attachment 147077 [details] xorg.conf file of RHEL4-U4 system RHEL4-U4 system support radeon driver to start X after graphic installtion.
X is clearly finding a video driver and starting successfully, so I'm calling this not a bug.
