Description of problem: Starting with FC6 I can't get Xorg to detect my video card, which used to work with FC4 and FC5. The card is an on-board ATI Radeon 7000/VE on a IBM xSeries 206, and by "detect" I mean it's not listed in the PCI scan of Xorg.0.log. The actual error in the log is: >(II) Primary Device is: ISA >(II) ATI: Candidate "Device" section "Videocard0". >(EE) No devices detected. > >Fatal server error: >no screens found Output of lspci: >00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 82875P/E7210 Memory Controller Hub (rev 02) >00:03.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82875P/E7210 Processor to PCI to CSA Bridge (rev 02) >00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 6300ESB 64-bit PCI-X Bridge (rev 02) >00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 6300ESB USB Universal Host Controller (rev 02) >00:1d.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 6300ESB USB Universal Host Controller (rev 02) >00:1d.4 System peripheral: Intel Corporation 6300ESB Watchdog Timer (rev 02) >00:1d.5 PIC: Intel Corporation 6300ESB I/O Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller (rev 02) >00:1d.7 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 6300ESB USB2 Enhanced Host Controller (rev 02) >00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 PCI Bridge (rev 0a) >00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 6300ESB LPC Interface Controller (rev 02) >00:1f.2 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 6300ESB SATA Storage Controller (rev 02) >00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 6300ESB SMBus Controller (rev 02) >02:01.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82547GI Gigabit Ethernet Controller >04:02.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV100 QY [Radeon 7000/VE] PCI scan from Xorg.0.log: >(II) PCI: PCI scan (all values are in hex) >(II) PCI: 00:00:0: chip 8086,2578 card 1014,02ae rev 02 class 06,00,00 hdr 00 >(II) PCI: 00:03:0: chip 8086,257b card 0000,0000 rev 02 class 06,04,00 hdr 01 >(II) PCI: 00:06:0: chip 8086,257e card 0000,0000 rev 02 class 08,80,00 hdr 00 >(II) PCI: 00:1c:0: chip 8086,25ae card 0000,0000 rev 02 class 06,04,00 hdr 01 >(II) PCI: 00:1d:0: chip 8086,25a9 card 1014,02ad rev 02 class 0c,03,00 hdr 80 >(II) PCI: 00:1d:1: chip 8086,25aa card 1014,02ad rev 02 class 0c,03,00 hdr 00 >(II) PCI: 00:1d:4: chip 8086,25ab card 1014,02ad rev 02 class 08,80,00 hdr 00 >(II) PCI: 00:1d:5: chip 8086,25ac card 1014,02ad rev 02 class 08,00,20 hdr 00 >(II) PCI: 00:1d:7: chip 8086,25ad card 1014,02ad rev 02 class 0c,03,20 hdr 00 >(II) PCI: 00:1e:0: chip 8086,244e card 0000,0000 rev 0a class 06,04,00 hdr 01 >(II) PCI: 00:1f:0: chip 8086,25a1 card 0000,0000 rev 02 class 06,01,00 hdr 80 >(II) PCI: 00:1f:1: chip 8086,25a2 card 1014,02ad rev 02 class 01,01,8a hdr 00 >(II) PCI: 00:1f:2: chip 8086,25b0 card 1014,02ad rev 02 class 01,04,8f hdr 00 >(II) PCI: 00:1f:3: chip 8086,25a4 card 1014,02ad rev 02 class 0c,05,00 hdr 00 >(II) PCI: 02:01:0: chip 8086,1075 card 1014,02ad rev 00 class 02,00,00 hdr 00 >(II) PCI: End of PCI scan Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): I tried every FC6 kernel and every Xorg update. Additional info: I'm using the "ati" driver. The "fbdev" one works though. I tried with an external video card (PCI ATI RageXL) but it's not detected either.
Forgot to mention: with Knoppix 5.1 and Ubuntu 6.10 (liveCDs, Xorg 7.1.1 on both, kernel 2.6.19 on the first and 2.6.17 on the second) everything is ok.
Yeah, kernel bug. Should be fixed in kernel-2.6.20-1.2984.fc7 and later.
I see, thanks! I'm sorry, any chance it will be fixed in FC6 also? Should I try building from source?
Just checked 2.6.20-1.2925.fc6 and it works, thanks!
