Description of problem:

I just upgraded a customer's Compaq Proliant 1600 server with integrated
CL-G5446 video from Red Hat 6.2/XFree86 3.3.6 to Red Hat 7.1/XFree86 4.0.3.
X ran fine during the the graphical installation, but I had video
corruption upon reboot, so I attempted to reconfigure X using
Xconfigurator. It exited abnormally with a "Trace/breakpoint failure," so I
attempted to use xf86config to generate a new XF86Config file.

Video corruption was worse with the new file in place: the top half of the
screen was black, and the bottom half displayed a section of the desktop at
an absurdly low resolution.  So, I tried to start from scratch, generating
a base XF86Config file with XFree86 -configure, but it, too, exited
abruptly with a trace/breakpoint failure and generated a coredump.  The
XFree86.0.log file from that attempt is attached to this bug report.

Additional info:

Here are the XFree86 RPMs that are installed:

[root@www log]# rpm -qa | grep XF
XFree86-libs-4.0.3-5
XFree86-xfs-4.0.3-5
XFree86-twm-4.0.3-5

Is the Cirrus Logic card configured as the primary display device in the
machine's CMOS (compaq equiv)?


Comment 3 Mike A. Harris 2002-02-09 10:36:50 UTC
Please reopen bug report with requested info if this problem is still
occuring with XFree86 4.1.0-15 which was released as erratum for
Red Hat Linux 7.1.  Attach your X servwer logs and X server config
files from 4.1.0 at that time.

Thanks.
