From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en; rv:1.8.0.8) Gecko/20061107 Fedora/1.5.0.8-1.fc6 Epiphany/2.16 Firefox/1.5.0.8 Description of problem: When I try to install Fedora Core 6 in graphic mode, I can't. I have a message which says "too high frequency". After installing Fedora in text mode, I can't start gdm, the same message. So I installed closed drivers to have GNOME running. But, some time ago, I tried again to use free drivers and after having remove the closed one I restarted the computer and, I had the bug, "too high frequency" but the X server restarted and the gdm started. I could use AIGLX with all 3D effects. So now I'm still using open driver, but I have still this bug but the X server seems to restart a second time and works well after. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.6.3-1.fc6 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.put the install CD in the drive 2.start the installation in graphic mode 3.kernel is been loading 4.then "too high frequency" Actual Results: system is down, I can't restart the computer with alt + ctrl + del or by any other means but shutdown it and start it again. Expected Results: Installation in graphic mode. Additional info: I think this bug impact a lot of Linux distributions, I had a similar problem when I tried to install Debian or Debian-bases distributions.
Created attachment 142063 [details] lspci There is may be even a bug in the lspci, in : 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV350 AR [Radeon 9600] 01:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV350 AR [Radeon 9600] (Secondary) When I was using the closed drivers, it said I had an RV360 card.
"too high frequency" is a message coming from the screen, not Fedora nor Linux. My screen is a Targa Visionary, LCD 17-3(In reply to comment #1)

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) 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.
Created attachment 142115 [details] Xorg.conf My Xorg.conf (actually, it's not the defaut xorg.conf as you can see but the FC5 version, with little modifications)
Created attachment 142116 [details] Xorg 0 log without worg.conf The screen works as you surely can see, may be the problem has been solved by latest drivers. I still have "too high frequency" but just for some seconds, after "gdm" starts.
Just to know if the bug have been found ...
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7720 This is the bug report for Xorg, may-be it help you. It seems that the bug comes from the DRI, when I removed the DRI section in xorg.conf, everything works.
Hm. That, and the obviously wrong connector information table, would seem to indicate we're setting up the memory map wrong when DRI is enabled. Can you attach the X log from starting X without DRI?
Created attachment 147104 [details] My most recent Xorg.0.log with the latest xorg I can't find how to specified that I don't want to start with the DRI, in the xorg.conf ? in Fedora Core 5, it was there and because I used my FC5 xorg.conf for FC 6, I don't know how FC6 xorg.cong works.
Fedora Core 6 is no longer supported, could you please reproduce this with the updated version of the currently supported distribution (Fedora 7, 8, or Rawhide)? If this issue turns out to still be reproducible, please let us know in this bug report. If after a month's time we have not heard back from you, we will have to close this bug as CANTFIX. Setting status to NEEDINFO, and awaiting information from the reporter. [This is mass-filed message to all open Fedora Core 6 bugs related to Xorg or Gecko. If you see any other reason, why this bug shouldn't be closed, please, comment on it here.]
Since there are insufficient details provided in this report for us to investigate the issue further, and we have not received feedback to the information we have requested above, we will assume the problem was not reproducible, or has been fixed in one of the updates we have released for the reporter's distribution. Users who have experienced this problem are encouraged to upgrade to the latest update of their distribution, and if this issue turns out to still be reproducible in the latest update, please reopen this bug with additional information. Closing as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. {This is mass-closing of all obsolete bugs; if this bug was in your opinion closed by mistake, please, reopen it with additional information; thanks a lot and I am sorry for bothering you in such case.}
