Description of problem: I installed FC6 on a Dell Poweredge 300 server with built-in ATI Rage IIC graphics; installation went without any obvious errors. Rebooting worked until the graphical login screen appeared; at this point the screen had obvious texture corruption (rectangles of wild colors and wierd patterns). The 'Username' entry box was visible, but typing did not display any text and I was unable to login. I was able to boot to runlevel 3 and login without any problem; I then did 'yum -y update' and rebooted but the screen was still corrupted. I installed four or five times, both from DVD ISO and CD ISO just to make sure there was no problem with the media. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install on PC with ATI Rage IIc 2. Reboot 3. Actual results: Corrupted graphical login screen and unable to login. Expected results: Clean graphics and able to login Additional info:
I forgot to mention that Fedora 5 works fine on this system.
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.
Created attachment 144494 [details] X logfile This is the X logfile before I deleted xorg.conf. It still refers to the Number 9 video card that I (temporarily) put into the system so I could have a graphical interface, but correctly shows the ATI as the primary (and at this time the only) display device.
Created attachment 144495 [details] Xorg logfile (old)
Created attachment 144496 [details] Xorg configuration file This is the file from before I put the Number 9 card in the system (and of course before I deleted xorg.conf to force a clean autodetect and initialize).
Created attachment 144497 [details] Xorg setup log This shows 'Fatal Server Error: No screens found'.
Created attachment 144498 [details] Xorg setup log after deleting xorg.conf
Created attachment 144499 [details] Xorg logfile after deleting xorg.conf and rebooting
