Description of problem: My laptop panel (1280x800 at 60MHz) doesn't show boot and after-boot when using modesetting. When I was on Fedora 10, boot and after-boot was shown on the same panel. The panel is backlit. I assume, from experience in with some older distros, that there is something wrong with the LVDS and/or DPMS options when booting. The system does boot. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.12.2-2.fc11.i586 kernel: 2.6.29.1-85.fc11.i586 Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have this panel, 2. boot with modesetting enabled 3. watch the screen Actual results: Screen which doesn't show boot and after-boot. Expected results: Showing the graphical boot, and later the desktop environment.
Forgot to mention that switching VTs does not show on the screen and booting the kernel with nomodeset does work.
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. We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information. Thanks in advance.
I have now run http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_radeon_dpms and figured out that it isn't a LVDS or DPMS problem as I suspected earlier. I found out this forum topic http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=202611&page=3 and then I did what most of the people said. When I ran 'vbetest' I didn't get a mode which supported my resolution (1280x800). I am pretty sure that this is the problem why Plymouth won't show at boot, and that after-boot is not shown. Can somebody advise me more on this so we can figure out the problem?
Still these logs would be useful.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 11. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '11'. 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 11'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 11 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
