Xorg.0.log from broken session

Description of problem:
Currently in F11 I am getting a black screen for X. The Xorg.0.log file has a complaint about an agp related kernel module. I don't see that module loaded for F10, but maybe it is built in to the kernel. It was working about a week ago and stopped working after a kernel change, so it might really be a kernel bug.
vt's work OK.
As usual I have to rebuild xorg-x11-drv-ati to work around the driver not liking EDID not being done properly by my monitor. Without this the screen is black because of no signal, with the change I am currently getting a signal, but the screen is still black.
I'll be attaching various files from my F10 and F11 instances. Things are working in F10 currently.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.10.0-1.fc11.i386
kernel-2.6.29-0.24.rc0.git13.fc11.i686

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot into F11
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
Black screen for X display

Expected results:
Normal session information appearing on display

xorg.conf file

I double checked to confirm that the xorg.conf files were identical for F11 and F10. So I am only attaching one of them.

Comment 5 Bruno Wolff III 2009-02-02 04:57:42 UTC
Note that I am able to get the radeon (and vesa driver for F11) working by passing nomodeset using 2.6.29-0.6.rc3.fc10.i686 or 2.6.29-0.73.rc3.git2.fc11.i686.

Comment 6 Bruno Wolff III 2009-02-05 04:26:47 UTC
In rawhide things have now reversed. With kernel 2.6.29-0.78.rc3.git5.fc11.i686 I now must NOT use the nomodeset parameter in order for things to work with the radeon driver. (I didn't retest the vesa driver.)

Comment 7 Bruno Wolff III 2009-04-18 07:16:37 UTC
I am still having modeset problems with this card, but I don't think it is the same problem as this was so I am going to close this bug.
