Created attachment 319696 [details] screen shot firstboot msgs Description of problem: Cannot start desktop via gdm logon with xorg-x11-drv-ati Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.9.0-21.fc10.i386 How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot system 2. wait for gdm, never shows 3. Actual results: no gdm, blank screen, monitor indicates no signal Expected results: gdm Additional info: Same (probably) failure with FC10 beta during first boot. Last working ati driver was xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.8.0-21.fc10.i386.rpm Have to use radeonhd driver to get gdm to function. Radeon hd 2600 graphics card on ASUS P5k-E wifi mobo. With ati driver, can get to a tty, and startx shows xserver is running. Attaching a screen shot from fc10 beta firstboot, may have some info.

I have a Biostar TA780G M2+ motherboard and I get similar results. i don't get gdm but a blank screen and after about 20-30 seconds I see Fatal IO error 11 (Resource Temporary Unavailable) and the system shuts down. I was using F10 beta (x84_64). I'd actually bump this issue to "high" since this is a installation failure for most (?) ATI users.
