Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-0.0.14-3.20090717gitb1b2330.fc12.x86_64.rpm How reproducible: everytime Steps to Reproduce: 1.start X with the aforementioned kernel versions 2.the screen will go blank, flicker a few times, but the system doesn't freeze, just becomes unusable (ctrl+alt+Fx doesn't work) 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: Adding vga=0x314 or vga=0x317 works. This is an older Nvidia NX 6200 card.
Adding vga=0x314 worked for me too, nVidia Corporation G70 [GeForce 7800 GT]. Thanks. This is a dup of: Bug #514313
Please update to the latest rawhide kernel (kernel-2.6.31-0.118.rc5.fc12) and try again. If it still fails, seeing your /var/log/messages from after the failure would be useful. Please remove any vga= lines also, they will quite likely break things when mixed with kernel modesetting currently.
I tried -0.118 w/o vga=, but it still failed to boot. Hung somewhere in udev processing. Reinstated vga=0x314 and it booted successfully. I'll attach /var/log/messages from after the successful boot.

Mmm DDC appears to fail unless you boot with vesafb also, interesting. What happens if you boot without any vga= and with nouveau.modeset=0 ?
The machine I was testing this on died on me unexpectedly, so I've yet to do some work to get it working again.
Re Comment #5 : OK, without any vga= and with nouveau.modeset=0 reboots OK. Do you need /va/r/log/messages?
Cool, thanks for that. Nope, that won't be needed. Your /var/log/Xorg.0.log may be interesting to see, but it's pretty clear there's something broken in the KMS DDC code. I'll look into that.

That's a log from the NVIDIA binary driver, not nouveau! But, it's enough to see that DDC is working fine there. When the kernel at http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1578486 has finished building, can you install it and retry nouveau without any graphics-related boot options set? If it still doesn't work, I'd be really interested in seeing your /var/log/messages after booting with "drm.debug=1 3" Thanks, Ben.
Still doesn't boot with: kernel-2.6.31-0.125.rc5.git2.fc12.x86_64 with: drm.debug=1 3 without: nouveau.modeset=0 Console ends with message: Integrated sync not supported Flip switches and it reboots OK.
Which raises the question, what is the correct way to disable nouveau? Am I expected to remove the driver? ----------- Still doesn't boot with: kernel-2.6.31-0.125.rc5.git2.fc12.x86_64 with: drm.debug=1 3 without: nouveau.modeset=0 Console ends with message: Integrated sync not supported Flip switches and it reboots OK.
Can you attach your /var/log/messages from the "drm.debug=1 3" case please?
Created attachment 356243 [details] Xorg.0.log when booting from f11 liveusb I can always boot from Fedora 11 liveusb. It is intersting that there is no xorg.conf in liveusb system. Have you tried booting without xorg.conf or XF86Config,( renaming xorg.conf or simply deleting it)
Re Comment #13 I don't get anything in /var/log/messages with "drm.debug=1 3" and without "nouveau.modeset=0". Boot doesn't get that far.
Ok, got my machine up and running, so everything you'll need I'll be happy to provide.
what's the status with latest kernel and nouveau from koji? -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
Works ok now.
OK, closing (those builds will go in Rawhide as soon as we unfreeze). -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
