Description of problem: I get a checkerboard of green tiles when running any OpenGL application with my Radeon 9800SE. This is the telltale sign that the driver is using the card as a fully functional Radeon 9800, and not the half defective 9800SE that it is. The exact same thing happens in Windows if I try a "soft mod". The driver works beautifully otherwise. :) The card works fine in Windows, and was previously used with fglrx in a different machine. Screenshot attached.

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.
Reporter, could you please reply to the previous question? If you won't reply in one month, I will have to close this bug as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Thank you.
Hmmm, I was having trouble getting the machine to boot recent kernels. F8 seems to have fixed that problem, but not this one.

Note that running xorg.conf-less seems to result in it running the monitor out of spec, the monitor goes into standby.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 7 is nearing the end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 7. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '7'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 7's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 7 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. If possible, it is recommended that you try the newest available Fedora distribution to see if your bug still exists. Please read the Release Notes for the newest Fedora distribution to make sure it will meet your needs: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/ The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
I can confirm that this bug still exists in Fedora 9. I'd really like to have this fixed so I can stop using fglrx. Should I push this bug upstream myself?
There have been bunch of bug fixes Could you retest with the latest kernel ( -132 at the time of this writing ) You can get the latest kernel build here http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=72270 And with the latest xorg-x11-drv-ati. ( -60 at the time of this writing ) You can get the latest xorg-x11-drv-ati build here http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=95 And report back if it either improves or fixes this issue.. Thanks.
Hmmm. This machine has been out of use for a while. It appears as of xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.8.0-14.fc9.i386 / kernel-2.6.25.14-108.fc9.i686 this seems to have been fixed. But it wasn't updated for a while so I don't know that these were the first versions to fix it. I'm going to consider this fixed.
