Comment 1 Dave Lahr 2008-12-29 10:03:58 UTC
I see this also (Dell Dimension 8400)

Comment 2 Jeremy Katz 2009-01-05 03:34:20 UTC
Can you switch ttys when this occurs?

Comment 3 jannewmarch 2009-01-05 04:17:05 UTC
I can't switch ttys. There is no keyboard response. ctrl-alt-del doesn't work either and I have to hard-power down. The mouse responds to movement but not to mouse clicks.

Current working version of Linux is FC 8. Video card is Intel 82845G. Booting FC8, /var/log/messages reports "CPU0: Intel P4/Xeon Extended MCE MSRs (12) available". uname -a reports "i686".

Comment 4 Dave Lahr 2009-01-05 12:26:10 UTC
I had the same behavior - could not switch to ttys, ctrl-alt-del didn't work, ctrl-alt-backspace didn't work either.  Same with the mouse.  I am currently running FC9 
uname -r reports
2.6.27.9-73.fc9.i686

Comment 5 Ray Strode [halfline] 2009-01-05 19:21:07 UTC
GDM doesn't do anything to stop vt switches, must be a problem lower in the stack...

What kind of video cards do you have? Radeon?

Comment 6 Dave Lahr 2009-01-06 04:39:17 UTC
I have the generic Intel one - from lspci:

VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01)

Comment 7 jannewmarch 2009-01-06 10:30:25 UTC

Comment 8 Matěj Cepl 2009-01-07 00:12:03 UTC
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, if available) 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 (if you have one) 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.

Comment 9 Dave Lahr 2009-01-07 03:43:23 UTC
to clarify - do you mean from my current distro of FC9?  Or during some pre-boot stage of the FC10 live image?

Comment 13 WilliamsJD 2009-01-17 03:43:57 UTC
I have an HP Pavillion 503n with the same video chipset.  If I boot this machine from the Live CD I get the same behavior as stated above.

I have had very similar problems with a fully installed F10.  The machine boots to run level three, I ssh into it and run "startx".  Regardless of whether I have a xorg.conf or not, I get a crosshatch, then garbage, then a very odd pattern with no keyboard response (not even Num Lock) or mouse (or mouse cursor).

In the attachments I have provided, the Xorg.0.log was when I had no xorg.conf, and the Xorg.1.log was when I had the provided xorg.conf.

Also, lspci | grep VGA gives:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01)

Hope that helps -- I'm suffering!

Comment 14 WilliamsJD 2009-01-17 14:59:40 UTC
Sorry, I just wanted to add that this particular machine (the HP Pav 503n with the Intel 82845G/GL/GE) worked just fine with the X and driver in FC9.

Comment 15 Antal KICSI 2009-02-14 17:36:28 UTC
I have an Fujitsu-Siemens ScenicS2 with the same video chipset.  If I boot this
machine from the Fedora10 LiveCD I get the same behavior as stated above. The same behavior I get from Fedora 11 Alpha LiveCD. 

I tested the LiveCD's also on an IBM NetVista 8313 and a Compaq Evo D510 with the same results. 

The error seems to be related to the acceleration method used in the xorg-x11-i810
driver (the default now is EXA before was XAA). In Fedora 10 there is a workaround: by generating an xorg.conf and changing the accel method to xaa the driver works. However in Fedora 11 Alpha this workaround does not work.

Xorg.0.log with Fedora11 Beta LiveCD on i845 video

The Fedora11 Beta Live CD does not work as expected on my hardware
(Fujitsu-Siemens ScenicS2 with i845 integrated video ): boots, almost
everything works exept no mouse cursor.  It detects motion, but the cursor is
invisible.I can guess where the cursor is and click in windows.This is the same
behaviour as with the 2009-03-12 intel Test Days Live CD.
I attached the Xorg.0.log for this case.

Adding "nomodeset" to the boot command line resulted in a running Xserver with
mouse cursor. Everithing looks normal, but the graphical interface is a bit slower 
then expected.

My computer works fine with Fedora8 and Fedora9, the above stated behaviour appeared since Fedora10.

Comment 17 Anoop Prasad 2009-06-05 19:36:05 UTC
Try to boot this machine in runlevel 3 by editing the default runlevel in /etc/inittab file. Then connect to the machine from another machine in the network. with -X option of ssh eg.
$ssh -X ip.add.re.ss

then run the follwing command if your computer is connected to the Internet.


$yum install system-config-display 
$system-config-display

change the screen resolution and the VGA card driver to vesa

and then try to boot the machine in runlevel 5. This may work for you.

With current rawhide, it should work better. KMS shouldn't hang at least. Can you retry?

Reporter doesn't reply. Closing since we don't have sufficent data to debug this further. It's likely that it was fixed along with many changes in current intel driver.

Comment 23 Alexey Kuznetsov 2009-11-16 01:35:58 UTC
same for f12.

Comment 24 Alexey Kuznetsov 2009-11-16 01:36:56 UTC
UMS mode hung with black screen, KMS hungs with alive mouse.

Comment 25 Vedran Miletić 2009-11-16 08:22:59 UTC
OK, let's reopen it then.

Comment 26 Alexey Kuznetsov 2009-11-16 14:24:25 UTC
-56 kernel works better (fedora beta), -96 less better (gliches on screen), and last kernel -127 hangs.

Alexey, I am suspicious, that you have different issue (actually duplicate of bug 573462) than what's going here -- your logs seem very different. Could you please move over there?

Comment 32 Alexey Kuznetsov 2010-03-15 20:41:09 UTC
yes, sorry. i choose wrong bug report to attach files. miss read the bug subject.

Sorry, I meant of course from the machine where the issue is reproducible. There are some ways we can try to get logs even from less than perfectly responding machine:

1) you can try to start in a text mode by adding 3 to the end of the kernel command line, and then you can login in the text mode as either root or liveuser, both of which should have no password
2) if you have some other computer with which you can connect to the tested one, login as root, and run

/sbin/service sshd restart

3) if you don't have other computer, then we have to just try our luck, and so in either case login liveuser and run startx
4) then it depends on the results. If Xorg crashes and you get back to the text mode, please collect and attach

* your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf, there shouldn't be any, just in case),
* output of the dmesg command after the crash,
* system log (/var/log/messages), and
* X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log)

to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link above.
5) if you don't have text mode and you can connect to the computer via ssh, you can collect the information through ssh.

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

Thanks in advance.

Comment 37 Bug Zapper 2010-11-04 11:35:06 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 12.  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 '12'.

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 12'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 12 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 38 jannewmarch 2010-11-05 07:44:39 UTC
I no longer have that system. Sorry, can't test any more.

Comment 39 Matěj Cepl 2010-11-05 15:20:39 UTC
Since there are insufficient details provided in this report for us to investigate the issue further, and we have not received feedback to the information we have requested above, we will assume the problem was not reproducible, or has been fixed in one of the updates we have released for the reporter's distribution.

Users who have experienced this problem are encouraged to upgrade to the latest update of their distribution, and if this issue turns out to still be reproducible in the latest update, please reopen this bug with additional information.

Closing as INSUFFICIENT_DATA.
