Description of problem: Booted F8t2 i686 LiveCD. Text mode was working during kernel boot. Monitor switched to power save mode when X started up (after udev [OK] message) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.7.192-1.fc8 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot F8t2 i686 LiveCD. 2. Wait for X to start. Actual results: My Dell 2407WFP driven by an ATI X600 card via DVI goes into power save mode. Expected results: Login/Desktop should come up when X starts. Additional info: This is a Dell Optiplex GX620 w/ an ATI x600 card(dual monitor capable...only one monitor hooked up. tty's 1-6 & 8-12 work fine (able to log in on 1-6, blinking cursor on higher ones) Chatted with 'halfline'(rstrode@nat/redhat/...) on irc.freenode.net in #fedora-devel. He suggested I try using xrandr to change resolution, so I set DISPLAY=:0 and tried 'xrander -s 1' from tty2. All I got was the screen blinking crazy for a while and tty7 still goes to power save mode. I have attached xorg log.

Created attachment 196711 [details] Xorg.0.log for Radeon R100 QD [Radeon 7200] Same problem here with an ATI Radeon AIW 7200 [R100]. However, I am unable to switch to a text console. Well, at least, the monitor stays off. It is still possible though to reboot the system via ctrl-alt-del. Unlike in the original report, there is a backtrace in my Xorg.0.log file near the end. Switching DRI off doesn't make a difference either. Reverting the driver package to version 6.6.3-4.fc8 from F8T1 allows to restore normal operation.
(In reply to comment #2) The monitor is connected to the [only] VGA output.
No improvement for xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.7.193-1.fc8.

Does updating to xorg-x11-server-Xorg 1.3.0.0-24 help? The EDID parser had at least one egregious bug in -22.
Yes, I booted the f8t2 liveCD into single user mode; executed 'init 3'; used yum to update xorg-x11-server-Xorg,xorg-x11-drivers, and xorg-x11-drv-ati; executed 'init 5'. The login screen came up as expected. Thanks for the assistance ajax! I have also attached /var/log/Xorg.0.log from this time around.
Created attachment 204211 [details] Xorg.0.log from successful run After updating xorg-x11-server-Xorg to 1.3.0.0-24(along with xorg-x11-drivers and xorg-x11-drv-ati), here's the xorg log from a successful run. I was able to see the login screen and actually login.
Awesome, thanks for testing! Marking as fixed in rawhide. Anyone else who's experiencing this, please update to xorg-x11-server 1.3.0.0-24 or later and test, and reopen if this is still a problem.

Impossible to start X, still the same backtrace a the end of the file. The monitor is a 21" HP A4756A CRT display and a [single] corresponding screen mode of 1400x1050 pixels has been added to the otherwise unaltered xorg.conf as.

OK, show goes on :-).
Actually, no, it doesn't. This is different problem, then what's described above. The bug we are dealing with here didn't include any crashes. Joachim, could I ask you to file a new bug (after search, whether there isn't duplicate of it)?
