Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Ati radeon 9250 Fedora-9-Preview-i686-Live.iso Monitor: Sony Multiscan g200 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot the system using the bootable cd 2. 3. Actual results: it starts to boot the system than it turn off the monitor and place it in power-saving state. And here the bootinb process stops. Expected results: finish booting the system and showing the login window Additional info:
Do you have another computer? Then you might be able to get to the computer via ssh and copy to your other computer log files which are either /var/log/Xorg.*.log or (if we haven't got to that stage) in /tmp/X*. Or, alternatively, could you please start in the text mode and possibly add 3 to the kernel command line, so that you should end up in the CLI mode. Then login as a user guest and run command startx? Resulting disaster would be again logged in /var/log/Xorg.*.log (much less likely this time, that it would be in /tmp/X*. Please attach these logs files (collected by whichever method) and your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link below. We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information. Thanks in advance.
Please, use bugzilla only for further communication: Hi Matej, This pc I'm using it runs windows xp, It's not my own pc .. i've asked to change to lin and awaiting for the ok. The pc I've had the problem instead is my home pc. I was courious to see the new fedora9 I've burned the live cd Fedora-9-Preview-i686-Live.iso Immediately after choosing to boot the live distro appears a list of "Buffer I/O error on device sr0" and than the monitor go in a power-saving state and the system remain freezed. As I'm using a live-cd I don't think I can recover the Xorg.0.conf I download and try to install the dvd version and let you have news... because unless there're options to boot not graphically the Fedora-9-Preview-i686-Live.iso I'm not able to boot it. I'm testing also other distros .. I've noticed something interesting: al distros based on xorg-server 1.3.0 and with ati drivers version 6.6.3 my card worked perfectly (Fedora8, Slackware12, Debian 4.0_rc3, Ubuntu 7.10 ...) and at 1600x1200 resolution. Instead there are problems with the new xorg-server and/or xf86-video-ati-6.8.0 driver For example yesterday a friend passed me a dvd containing the updated slackware-current and at the evening, while awaiting for possible answers, I've installed it. It uses xorg-server 1.4.0.90 and ati-6.8.0 at the startx it freezed. I've recompiled the old ati-6.6.3 but obtained the same result .. freezed. At the moment I've just the Xorg.0.log of that slackware-current .. I saved them. I don't know if in the meantime I download the fedora9 dvd they can be helpful for you. In department I've another pc with my same ati card and downloaded other recent distros, all using recent xorg and ati .. all freezed. is it possible that it can be a xorg-server problem?? I'm at your complete disposal, let me know if I can post the slack Xorg.0.log .. otherwise I'm downloading the fedora dvd .. I'll need 6 hour to finish downloading it. PS: I send you that files ... xorg.conf, Xorg.0.log (they are slackware ones, but they are the ones I've in the immediate) .. when I'll have the new ones I'll post you that ones too using the bugzilla.

Looking forward to see whether you managed to get some useful information from the DVD.
Sorry, one more thing (rather important I am afraid) -- this cannot be only xorg bug. /dev/sr0 is a device for the RW CD drive. Reassigning to more appropriate component and keeping us on the CC list for further debugging.
Created attachment 303298 [details] dmesg - Fedora-9-Preview-i386-DVD
Created attachment 303299 [details] Xorg.0.log - Fedora-9-Preview-i386-DVD
Created attachment 303300 [details] xorg.conf - Fedora-9-Preview-i386-DVD I've changed nothing of the original xorg.conf
for what concerns the /dev/sr0 problem ... i don't know: as you can see looking at the dmesg it works perfectly and the cd-rw I used is perfect: new and I've recorded there also other distro (archlinux,..) and they worked good, no error messages.
You can add " 3" to the boot arguments after pressing <tab> on the first screen and the livecd will boot to runlevel 3 (text mode.) The normal user name is 'fedora' with a blank password and root also has a blank password.
Reassigning back to Xorg component.
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
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. 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 '9'. 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 9'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 9 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 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 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.
