Thanks! Ok, so here we go: I got a scrambled screen with nouveau and modeset=1, no working X. The console ttys were blank, no login prompts! # yum info xorg-x11-drv-nouveau Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit Installed Packages Name : xorg-x11-drv-nouveau Arch : x86_64 Epoch : 1 Version : 0.0.12 Release : 40.20090528git0c17b87.fc11 See Xorg log and description from attachment #354585 [details] of bug #508469.
Do you happen to have an Xorg.0.log of using nouveau.modeset=1, with the nouveau 2D driver (all the modeset=1 logs you posted on the other bug have the NVIDIA binary driver trying to start instead..). For the kernel modesetting case, the output of "dmesg" after it's failed (if you can type blindly or ssh to get it!) would be very useful. Thanks!
Reporter, could you please reply to the previous question? If you won't reply in one month, I will have to close this bug as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Thank you. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
