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.

Thank you very much for the response.

> Could you please also try to run without any /etc/X11/xorg.conf whatsoever and
Unfortunatelu X11 fails to run without config and exits with

Fatal server error:
Cannot run in framebuffer mode. Please specify busIDs for all framebuffer devices

sample xorg.conf

My real xorg.conf is longer, but the problem I described can be reproduced with
this config. The motivation of using "fbdev" rather than "radeon" driver is the
"Rotate" option. The bug, however, does not depend on "Rotate"...

Any hope to have the priority raised? The bug is still there in Fedora 8 :-(

This seems to be the same as bug 332791 and also
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12003 (which describes the problem
quite comprehensively).

I have experienced this bug on:
ATI Radeon X1300 Pro
xterm-231-1.fc7.x86_64
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.3.0.0-16.fc7.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-fglrx-8.452.1-3.8.01.lvn7.x86_64

And also on:
nVidia Quadro NVS 285
xterm-231-1.fc7.x86_64
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.3.0.0-16.fc7.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-vesa-1.3.0-8.fc7.x86_64

But *not* on:
ATI Radeon X1300 Pro
xterm-231-1.fc7.x86_64
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.1.1-47.9.fc6.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-fglrx-8.40.4-2.lvn7.x86_64

The freedesktop.org bug mentioned above is using the sis driver.  Therefore this
looks like a core X server bug introduced somewhere between 1.1 and 1.2.
