Comment 1 Dave Airlie 2008-10-20 20:40:53 UTC
Can you try with a newer kernel kernel-2.6.27.3-30.rc1.fc10
has some fixes.

Comment 2 Souiri Mohamed Zakaria 2008-10-20 21:57:56 UTC
can't test with kernel-2.6.27.3-30.rc1.fc10 since  kernel-2.6.27.3-30.rc1.fc10 has n't  yet  been pushed according to yum .

Comment 3 Matěj Cepl 2008-10-24 14:33:13 UTC
All built kernels are here
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=8
and the latest is
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=67381 (i.e., kernel-2.6.27.3-44.fc10)

Comment 7 Souiri Mohamed Zakaria 2008-11-02 14:14:41 UTC
the freeze problem has been solved  but  another bug occurs when using the modesettings within a few minute of working  the screen become black  just like if the system  went into hibernation mode

Comment 8 Carlo Raudino 2008-11-02 22:47:23 UTC
damn modesetting. I've just upgrated to rawhide, and my system was REALLY REALLY REALLY SLOW.

My video card is a radeon X1050 R300 based, so fully working with DRI project Radeon driver.

everything was choppy and fedora crashed several times (also changing the wallpaper resulted to a crash) to a striped black and white screen of death...

Now I edited grub, adding nomodesetting, and fedora works better...


I don't know if it's an issue with R300 or just modesetting is too much immature...but this bug is annoying :(

Comment 9 Bug Zapper 2008-11-26 04:01:56 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle.
Changing version to '10'.

More information and reason for this action is here:

Comment 10 Diego 2008-12-14 14:22:00 UTC
I still sometimes experience the hard freeze with VT switch or at the end of the KDE splash.

Similar card: Radeon 9500 AGP.

Name       : kernel
Arch       : i686
Versione    : 2.6.27.7
Release    : 134.fc10

Name       : xorg-x11-drv-ati
Arch       : i386
Versione    : 6.9.0
Release    : 61.fc10


N.B.: the freeze doesn't always happen. You get it ~70% of the times (maybe with the VT switch it's even a bit more frequent).

All goes well with "nomodeset".

Comment 11 Diego 2008-12-21 12:43:00 UTC
No progress with kernel-2.6.27.9-163.fc10 and xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.9.0-62.fc10

Comment 12 Bug Zapper 2009-11-18 08:36:30 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 10.  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 '10'.

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 10'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 10 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 13 Bug Zapper 2009-12-18 06:36:35 UTC
Fedora 10 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-12-17. Fedora 10 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.
