Does it behave any differently if you try it with KMS?

> Does it behave any differently if you try it with KMS?

yes, system gets frozen

1)without kms

messed display (see bug description), unusable but system works

2)kms and 2 LCD (first wide, second normal)
during the boot, splash is visible, but

- it's not completely smooth (I don't know if it should be) = in about one third of the progress it blinks once

- window on the first screen is not wide - empty place on the right side, this is fixed just in the end of the boot

- after progress bar reaches the end, splash stops the animation and after few seconds both lcd goes black, system doesn't respond to mouse, keyboard, power button

3)kms and one LCD
- situation is the same, but splash covers wide screen completely

---------------

after reboot to init 3, Xorg.0.log is empty

tested with updated nouveau driver

fast user switching works, but display is messed up even more (missing fonts)

X server restarting makes no difference

Comment 3 Adam Williamson 2009-03-31 19:04:09 UTC
Thanks. Can you attach the usual log files (/var/log/Xorg.0.log , possibly ~/.xsession-errors if there's anything interesting in it) and then we can assign this? Thanks!

Xorg.0.log

tested with xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-0.0.12-20.20090330git9d46930.fc11.x86_64 and xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.6.0-16.fc11.x86_64

~/.xsession-errors

xsession-errors is probably useless

Comment 6 Adam Williamson 2009-04-01 21:16:51 UTC
thanks a lot.

Comment 7 Ben Skeggs 2009-05-04 03:27:32 UTC
Can I grab an update on how things are with current versions of xorg-11-drv-nouveau and the kernel?  If things are still bad, fresh logs would be useful as things have changed a little since the last lot.

^ - it's not completely smooth (I don't know if it should be) = in about one
^ third of the progress it blinks once
It should be smooth, and is in the situations I've seen so far.  If X decides to choose a different mode for your displays as it starts however, it may flicker there.

^ - window on the first screen is not wide - empty place on the right side, this
^ is fixed just in the end of the boot
This is the intended behaviour.  fbcon will attempt to program all displays to their preferred modes to avoid a modeset as X starts (for the smooth transition to X).  Unfortunately, fbcon expects a single framebuffer, so you get a framebuffer the size of the smallest screen.

Updated rawhide works (tried: playing video, modeset and dualhead)

it's smooth now

I think you can close this bug now
