Description of problem: 1. Use ASPEED AST2000 Adapter to install FC8. 2. It will show following message while system boot: Failed to start X Server (your graphical interface). It is likely that it is not set up correctly. ..... Additional info: 1. If run startx in text console mode, then it can start X properly.So, if it's the issues of driver issue or X config, it should still failed if run startx in cosole mode

Hi, If the owner assignment is not correct, please help to re-assignment to the right one. Thanks, Y.C. Chen
Ajax, this might be the general Xserver breakage I observe on my office Radeon computer as well.
Hi, I had tried ASPEED AST2000, ATI RageXL, S3 Trio64, and only AST2000 has this issue. I just don't understandard if it's the issue of AST2000 driver, then it should be failure also if run startx in text console mode. Besides I had tried AST2000 on FC7, FC8 test1, Suse 10.3 and Ubuntu 7.10, they are all use xorg 7.2 and no such issue. Does anyone have any suggestion? Y.C. Chen
That X log shows a successful startup. Does running "X" on its own give you a working display?
Hi, Yes! What should I do for further check? Y.C. Chen
Well, whatever this is, it's not an X problem. Since you say 'startx' works too, I'm blaming gdm here.
Hi, Need us to provide more information? If anyone wants us to provide more information or do some test, then just please inform to us. Regards, Y.C. Chen
This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '8'. 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 8'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 8 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 to the applicable version. 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. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
