can you give the 6.7.191-2 rpm a spin? http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=16342 it'll be in rawhide soon..
I updated my i386 rawhide box and also experience this with a Radeon 9200 PRO[RV280]. The 6.7.191-1 and 6.7.191-2(mentioned above) rpm's but both exhibit the same behaviour. reverting to xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.6.3-4.fc8.i386.rpm returns the output to normal for me aswell.
to the initial reported can you add a Virtual line to your xorg.conf to test? example below it you can use 192 Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Videocard0" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Virtual 1920 1200 Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 EndSubSection EndSection
Tested 6.7.191-2 rpm and above settings. No difference.
Same with xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.7.192-1.fc8.i386.rpm
I thought I'd add that I built and installed the upstream version of the ati driver that has been tagged as xf86-video-ati-6.7.193 and it reduced the overly white/brightness of the output somewhat, but it still seems slightly too white/bright compared to the output if I use org-x11-drv-ati-6.6.3-4.fc8.i386.rpm
Tried xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.7.193-1.fc8 Slightly darker clouded screen, but still no picture.
Stefan can you post a log with the added virtual line? it appears we are attempting to use the scaler when we shouldn't .. also giving 6.7.194 a try from Rawhide... Tim I think you have a different problem it's a different chipset so please file your own bug... with Xorg.0.log ..
Sorry, can't do that, as I am trying another distro now. So I am no longer a Fedora user.
Sorry to hear it. Reopen this bug when you return ;-)
