Description Joachim Frieben 2008-06-19 10:33:39 UTC
Description of problem:
After upgrading to the latest F9 kernel build 2.6.25.7-65.fc9, Xorg
stops working on an ATI Radeon X800. During start-up, the monitor
goes to power saving mode due to a missing video signal. The system
needs a hard reset to reboot.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.25.7-65.fc9.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot F9 with kernel 2.6.25.7-65.fc9.
  
Actual results:
Monitor goes to power saving mode. System is locked.

Expected results:
Boot-up procedure completes successfully.

Additional info:
- The latest entry in the changelog reads
    * Fri Jun 20 2008 Dave Airlie <airlied> 2.6.25.7-65
    - update radeon patches to newer upstream
  which is obviously the cause of the issue.
- Reverting to kernel-2.6.25.7-64.fc9 restores normal operation.
