Hi, I have an X30 and have the same problem. I tried to upgrade to Fedora 10 from Fedora 9 using a DVD in an external USB drive, I tried to upgrade from an external USB hard disk, I tried to upgrade from the internal hard disk, I tried to upgrade using the preinstall package. In all of these cases, as soon as the installer tried to start X, a portion of the GUI was rendered (background, but no foreground) and I got an almost total lock-up (keyboard dead, but could still move the mouse pointer). At this point, I suspected that the problem was with the installer, not X, and so I did the upgrade using yum. However, it's clear now that the problem is with X, not the installer, since (1) if I boot to runlevel 3, I can verify that the upgrade was successful, and everything except X seems to be running fine, and (2) if I try to start X, even with an xorg.conf using the VESA driver, I get total screen corruption. As this renders my wife's laptop totally unusable, I'll happily and rapidly provide whatever information you need for resolving the problem.
I found that adding the line Option "NoAccel" "yes" to my xorg.conf made X usable again. However, it's kind of suboptimal turning off hardware acceleration.
I believe this bug is caused by the same problem as Bug 469292.
The information we've requested above is required in order to review this problem report further and diagnose or fix the issue if it is still present. Since it has been thirty days or more since we first requested additional information, we're assuming the problem is either no longer present in the current Fedora release, or that there is no longer any interest in tracking the problem. Setting status to "CLOSED: INSUFFICIENT_DATA". If you still experience this problem after updating to our latest Fedora release and can provide the information previously requested, please feel free to reopen the bug report. Thank you in advance.
(In reply to comment #7) > The information we've requested above is required in order > to review this problem report further and diagnose or fix the > issue if it is still present. It's impossible to provide the requested information, because this problem locks up the keyboard. There's no way to switch to a console once the problem occurs. Is there any other information I can provide for you? Anyway, I believe this bug is the same as Bug 474118.
