Description of problem: Since the upgrade this morning to xorg-x11-drv-ati.i386 6.6.3-1.fc6 I get complete garbage on my screen when booting kernel 2.6.18-1.2849.fc6xen. There are no problems when I use a non-Xen kernel (2.6.18-1.2849.fc6). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-drv-ati.i386 6.6.3-1.fc6 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Xen kernel 2. Install xorg-x11-drv-ati.i386 3. reboot Actual results: garbled display (both X *and* console) Expected results: Nothing, should work "as normal" Additional info: The PC is a Medion MD8080. According to lspci: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon R350 [Radeon 9800 Pro]
I seem to be having a similar problem. I just installed FC6 on my Thinkpad T43 (with Radeon Mobility M300) with Xen enabled. It worked fine until I installed all the updates. One of the updates caused my X session to shut down, but then it didn't come back; instead, the laptop display shut off entirely. I could still log into the laptop via ssh, but couldn't figure out how to get the display to turn on again. chvt 1 didn't help. So I rebooted, and as soon as rhgb started up the display shut down again. So I disabled rhgb, rebooted, and it booted normally until it started the X server, at which point I lost the display again. Reverting the ATI driver to 6.6.2 didn't fix the problem. Switching to the non-Xen kernel did.
With kernel-xen-2.6.18-1.2868.fc6 I still see this problem. With the non-Xen kernel it works fine.
Thanks for the bug report. We have reviewed the information you have provided above, and there is some additional information we require that will be helpful in our diagnosis of this issue. Please attach your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) and X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log) to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link below. Could you please also try to run without any /etc/X11/xorg.conf whatsoever and let X11 autodetect your display and video card? Attach to this bug /var/log/Xorg.0.log from this attempt as well, please. We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information. Thanks in advance.

Running without xorg.conf it has the same problem.
Created attachment 148295 [details] log of lspci -vvv I don't know if the output for lspci will help you, but I have attached it just in case.
Reporter, are you able to reproduce this bug with latest update of your distribution (meaning, after running 'yum upgrade' with whichever supported distribution you have -- FC6, F7, or Rawhide)? Please, if you experience this problem on the up-to-date system, let us now in the comment for this bug, or whether the upgraded system works for you. If you won't be able to reply in one month, I will have to close this bug as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Thank you.
I can't reproduce it on my Fedora 7 system and I'm not willing to downgrade to FC6 to investigate this bug :-) So, feel free to close it.
