Description of problem: Hello, I have a stock Fedora Core 6 + latest updates (as of January 4, 2007). Video board is integrated on mainboard: seems to be a S3 ProSavage8 integrated on an Asus P4VP-MX motherboard (http://www.asus.com/search.aspx?searchitem=1&searchkey=P4VP-MX). Monitor is LCD: a NEC AccuSync 72VM (http://www.nec-mitsubishi.com/coremedia/generator/index,realm=Products__Details__Specification,spec=x__uk__en,docId=87036,type=LCD) In Windows, it works at 1280x1024, million colors with no problem (according to OSD, this is the optimal resolution). Fedora 6 installs on this system, in X mode, with no problems. After reboot, loading starts normally, then screen becomes and remains black instead of displaying X login. Booting Fedora in level 3 works OK. Doing a "system-config-display --reconfig" from text mode shows a 800x600 screen and works OK. Video board is detetected and uses S3 ProSavage driver, monitor is detected as generic LCD. Starting X works OK - by manually setting monitor as "Generic LCD 1280x1024", you can get 1280x1024 at 32 bits depth, good quality. However, after shutting down X to get back in command line, the screen remains black and OSD displays "No video signal" for some time, the the power LED turns orange (standby). One can exit this state only by rebooting system (CTRL-ALT-DEL works), to re-enter in text mode. In the above state, some of the keyboard functions seems to be disabled (one cannot press NumLock to switch the NumLock LED on). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always, in the hardware configuration described above. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Screen remains black after exiting from X; you must reboot. Expected results: The system should return to text-mode. Additional info: I experienced this on other Asus mainboards too: for example the P4P800-VM. Regards, Razvan
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.

Hello, I am pleased to provide the requested files (please see above). Regards, Razvan
Hello, It seems this was "magically" solved after recent updates (last days). Works OK now, without any intervention from my part. Regards, Razvan
Marking WFM as per comment #7. Please reopen if this issue reappears. Thanks for the report!
Hello, I have downloaded Fedora 6.93 and this issue reappeared (it was OK in FC6, as reported above). I have done all the online updates as of May 14, 2007, but this remains the same. Regards, Răzvan
Additional comment: The screen remains black after exiting X and monitor's LED turn from green to yello, suggesting it entered in an unsupported mode. Răzvan
Hello, This bug is still present in Fedora 7 (after final release) and *very* annoying, because it's impossible to exit normally from X and return to text mode (in runlevel 3) - I must reboot the workstation ... :-( Could you check, please ? Thanks a lot, Răzvan
The following bug report: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=244103 might be a duplicate of this bug. However, bug 244103 has a Xorg.0.log file with a crash backtrace. Could anybody who follows and can reproduce this bug do the following: 1) Make the X server enter the black-screen state. 2) Reboot 3) On GRUB, modify required parameters to enter into runlevel 3 without graphical boot (for me, its remove "rhgb", then add "3" to kernel parameters). 4) Log in as root and save /var/log/Xorg.0.log, then post it here for examination.

Created attachment 157026 [details] The required log file. Hello, As required in comment #12, here is my bet ;-) - please see attached log Many thanks, Răzvan
*** Bug 244103 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
As I suspected, bug 244103 is a duplicate this bug (bug 221503). There is a crash, and the crash occurs at the exact same place. So I marked my bug as a duplicate of this one.
Thanks, Alex!

Current git for savage driver from freedesktop.org fixes this crash on exit for me. I just replaced savage_drv.so with the one resulting from compiling the current git. I recommend updating the savage package to current git.
*Please* include this, as a n updatedc RPM, into official Fedora repository. This bug is *extremely* annoying... Regards, Răzvan
Any news on this, please ? The fix is still not present in Fedora repositories for F7 ?
I've been experiencing the same thing. None of the suggested remedies work for me either. I never had this problem with FC6 and have never NOT had it with F7 and I keep up with released packages. My solution? Run FC6.

Since we are very close to Fedora 8, continuing using FC6 is at least counterproductive... :-( However, I'll need very much a solution for this... Thanks, Răzvan
I now run fedora 8 test 3 + updates as of October 11, 2007. At least for me, this seems to be solved. Thanks A LOT, Răzvan
