Description of problem: I recently updated FC8 to FC9 and in so doing the new Savage Driver version 2.2.0-2 freezes the display on initializing the video card (int10), a quad vga Colorgraphic Predator LT 4 PCI. Thru trial and error I was to get a simple test to work partially. That is 3 of the 4 screens will initialize and display the test session (ie X -config /xorg.conf.new) by using the option "NoInt10" in each device section. This same hardware setup previously worked under FC6-8 and no longer works on FC9. The base system is a Dell Precision 340 with 512Mb RAM and an Intel 4 2.66Ghz CPU. The system is configured to operate under quad displays with Xinerama set to "true". Once the display freezes, a reboot (ctrl-alt-del) to restore system. The display also freezes if attempting to create a basic xorg.conf with "X -configure". If I set the config to use only one display the system works normally with using the default setting for Int10. Does the driver no longer support multiple displays? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora Core 9/xorg-x11-drv-savage-2.2.0-2.fc9 How reproducible: Start system in graphic mode Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start system 2. Allow to boot 3. Actual results: The display freezes on startup in gui mode Expected results: Normal gui display Additional info:
Created attachment 310785 [details] xorg.conf Existing xorg configuration file. This configuration worked prior to upgrading to FC9.

The display freezes on a black text screen.
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 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, please. We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information. Thanks in advance.
Created attachment 310843 [details] Error log without an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file present A single video display vs a quad-display was successfully displayed.
(In reply to comment #5) > A single video display vs a quad-display was successfully displayed. Yes, I understand that, but I just wanted to eliminate problems in the configuration. Reassigning to developers.
Understood... I was just a statement to clarify the results of the error log...
I've downgraded xorg to the FC8 version 1.3.0 and the savage driver works again with the quad vga Colorgraphic Predator LT 4 PCI video adapter. Should a fix become available I will upgrade xorg to FC9 version. I used the method described here: http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?p=1003106#post1003106 and here: http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=188645&page=1&pp=15
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.
