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 attach your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) and X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log) to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link below.

Could you please also 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 from this attempt as well, please.

We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information.

Thanks in advance.

my xorg.conf

This is my recent xorg.conf. Unfortunately, I have installed and uninstalled the fglrx driver in the meantime. Since then, I sometimes get some additional errors when I start glxgears, for example. If this renders my information unusable, I can do an fresh installation of Fedora on a separate partition.

There have been bunch of bug fixes

Could you retest with the latest kernel 
( -132 at the time of this writing )

You can get the latest kernel build here
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=72270 

And with the latest xorg-x11-drv-ati. 
( -60 at the time of this writing )

You can get the latest xorg-x11-drv-ati build here
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=95

And report back if it either improves or fixes this issue..

Thanks.

Reporter, could you please reply to the previous question? If you won't reply in one month, I will have to close this bug as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Thank you.

Comment 13 Matz 2009-02-07 22:38:19 UTC
Sorry for the late answer but due to my experiments with different drivers, my X was a little bit messy. So installed Fedora 11 Alpha today. Unfortunately, the ati driver does not seem to work: glxinfo says "direct rendering: Yes", althogh it is software-rendering: "OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer". The selection-demo does work, but it used to work in software-rendering...
Forcing "Driver "ati"" in xorg.conf caused a system crash.
Maybe this is kernel-related, as the kerneloops-daemon let me send a report.?

Comment 14 Matz 2009-02-19 23:01:28 UTC
Okay, I was wrong: The driver is indeed loaded and the selection mode is working (triangles in mesademos test 'select' change colours). I was thinking that it was software rendering, as performance has dropped (EXA and XAA) from 1200 FPS in glxgears to 200 FPS...
Attaching log.

Comment 16 Bug Zapper 2009-06-10 02:29:58 UTC
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

Comment 17 Bug Zapper 2009-07-14 16:45:56 UTC
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.
