... note this bug is somehow similar to older i810 bugs, but it does not seem to me that it is exact duplicate

Comment 4 Karel Volný 2009-06-19 13:57:57 UTC
well, interesting observation ... the problem is bound only to "startx" command, I'm able to get the graphical login screen using "init 5"

Fixing component to reflect comment #4.

Comment 6 Matěj Cepl 2009-11-05 18:32:41 UTC
Since this bugzilla report was filed, there have been several major updates in various components of the Xorg system, which may have resolved this issue. Users who have experienced this problem are encouraged to upgrade their system to the latest version of their packages. For packages from updates-testing repository you can use command

yum upgrade --enablerepo='*-updates-testing'

Alternatively, you can also try to test whether this bug is reproducible with the upcoming Fedora 12 distribution by downloading LiveMedia of F12 Beta available at http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/ . By using that you get all the latest packages without need to install anything on your computer. For more information on using LiveMedia take a look at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraLiveCD .

Please, if you experience this problem on the up-to-date system, let us now in the comment for this bug, or whether the upgraded system works for you.

If you won't be able to reply in one month, I will have to close this bug as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Thank you.

Comment 8 Karel Volný 2010-03-05 11:03:44 UTC
sorry for late reaction

I observe very similar problem, but looking into the log, the root cause is for sure different

and it happens also using another machine

the problem from this bugreport cannot be reproduced exactly, thus I'd say it is fixed in F12 => closing

for the current problem, I've filed a new bug #570764
