That effect only appears at maximum resolution, 1680x1050

Comment 2 Ben Skeggs 2009-04-09 01:59:08 UTC
Are you able to test the nouveau driver and see how things are for you there?

Comment 3 Paul Marques Mota 2009-04-09 14:35:13 UTC
I'll be able to burn an F11 beta cd this week-end, as the machine is not where I am.

I found out there's no nvidia drivers for ppc, so I assumed I was already using the nouveau driver.

Also note that the computer has a 64bits cpu running a 32bits driver, I'll check whether installing the 64bit driver help.

BTW, is there a way to debug that video driver or at least to get verbose logs ?

Comment 4 Ben Skeggs 2009-04-10 00:04:31 UTC
Unless you specifically set up the nouveau driver in F10, you would have been using the nv driver.  In F11 however, nouveau is the default.

Just the standard /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /var/log/messages are fine in this case.

Comment 5 Paul Marques Mota 2009-04-12 22:25:37 UTC
Using the F11 ppc beta netinstall make the computer freeze during the boot sequence. The fan make a lot of noise.

The last lines shown are (copied from hand):

Console: colour dummy device 80x25
console handover: boot [udbg0]-> real [tty0]
smp_core99_probe

Comment 6 Ben Skeggs 2009-04-13 02:19:55 UTC
It's not clear from that if it's nouveau at fault.  Can you successfully boot with vesa as the graphics driver?

Comment 7 Paul Marques Mota 2009-04-13 15:08:19 UTC
No, booting with boot option video=ofonly or video=vesa didn't change anything. The boot sequence hangs for a couple of minutes after those lasts lines I previously sent, then the computer reboot.

A default installation of rawhide this morning fixed the problem. Thanks for your help!

I'm recording them here for completeness, although they seem fine to me.
