Description Evgueni Souleimanov 2007-10-15 22:19:49 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; en-US; rv:1.8.1.6) Gecko/20070725 Firefox/2.0.0.6

Description of problem:
When I boot from Fedora 8 KDE LiveCD, the GUI boot process works fine, but after that, the GUI does not start and the system remains in text mode (localhost login: prompt). I log in, edit xorg.conf and replace the display driver with the correct one. After that, I can bring the system into graphic mode (init 3 ; init 5).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
system-config-display-1.0.51-1.fc7

How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot from LiveCD
2. GUI boot worked fine, graphical progressbar, with the "Show Details" link
3. After the progressbar, the system shows text login (fedora login:) prompt.
4. Log in, 
5. su
6. vim /etc/X11/xorg.conf , replace the driver in Section "Device", save the file
7. init 3
8. init 5



Actual Results:
I get the GUI only after performing all the steps to reproduce.

Expected Results:
I should get the GUI just by booting the LiveCD.

Additional info:
BIOS has this setting:

Primary graphics adapter: AGP

Comment 1 Evgueni Souleimanov 2007-10-15 22:25:04 UTC 
I cannot install Fedora 6, 7 and 8 in GUI mode, unless I leave only one graphics
card in the computer, to prevent this bug from being triggered.

The problem can also be reproduced in Fedora 7 LiveCD.
Comment 2 Matěj Cepl 2007-10-29 14:10:05 UTC 
Can we get also your /var/log/Xorg.0.log as an attachment to this bug, please? 
Thank you.
Comment 3 Evgueni Souleimanov 2007-10-29 16:06:23 UTC 
Created attachment 241981 [details]
/var/log/Xorg.0.log from F8test3 KDE Live

I copied this file after logging in in text mode (GUI failed to start).
Comment 4 Jesse Barnes 2008-01-10 23:26:30 UTC 
I don't see how this is an intel problem since you're using nv and mga?
Comment 5 Evgueni Souleimanov 2008-01-11 14:36:01 UTC 
(In reply to comment #4)
> I don't see how this is an intel problem since you're using nv and mga?

I don't see where the report says that this is an Intel problem (apart from the
Intel components shown in the lspci listings).
Comment 6 Matěj Cepl 2008-01-14 10:35:19 UTC 
Jesse, ehm, this is not the reporter's problem, but this lowly bugmaster screwed
up. I am actually not sure, whom to blame in this case of two different video
cards, so reassigning to xorg-x11-drivers component. Ajax?
Comment 7 Evgueni Souleimanov 2008-04-29 17:27:41 UTC 
It looks like the problem is no longer there when I am trying Fedora 9 Alpha
LiveCD and Fedora 9 Preview LiveCD. I get the screen to the first card, nv.
Comment 8 Matěj Cepl 2008-07-16 16:12:32 UTC 
sorry, forgot to close.
