Description of problem: Text installation of "Fedora 9" (sorry, I can not find the entry for F9 bug report), after login, run 'startx' in command line, which leads to the system hang. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. installation (text mode) 2. login 3. startx Actual results: system hang. Expected results: launch gfx GUI. Additional info: Happened in Intel stoakley platform (harpertown processor, ATI graphics card, F8 works well under the same platform. Meanwhile, the gfx mode installation in this platform will lead to system hang also, so I have to install system by text mode.)
(There is no F9 released yet, so you file the bugs against Rawhide) 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.
I attached the xorg.conf as below. As to Xorg.0.log, I can not get it after run 'startx' or booting the system as X11 mode ('5'), because the system will be no response once I try to enter into X11 mode (it should be crashed, I even can not remotely login by network.). I just attached the log file for console mode for your reference (maybe no useful).

Attach to this bug >/var/log/Xorg.0.log from this attempt as well, please. The status is same with those above description, the system hung and I can not get the log file.
The card is ATI Technologies Inc ES1000 despite repoter's email domain ;-).
I have the same problem with Fedora 9 Preview (x86_64). In addition to the information already given I want to add that even graphical installation won't work so text mode is the only option. All attempts at starting the X server lead to a complete system freeze. I am running an Intel Q6600 on an Asus P5E-VM HDMI motherboard (G35 chipset) using on-board graphics through the VGA connector. Any suggestions on how this could be fixed? Fedora 8 runs well on the same platform.
hmm not sure how best to deal with this, try sync mounting / to see how much of the log file you can get. mount -o remount,sync / then just run Xorg and on next boot grab /var/log/Xorg.0.log and attach it here.
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
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.
Re-try the Fedora 9 GA x86_64, it works fine (ddn't see this issue in the same platform any more.) Thanks!
Thanks for letting us know.
