Description of problem: Hello, On some systems that were upgraded from F11 to F12 (via official DVD), X refuses to start after upgrade (systems are set to run into runlevel 3 by default and "startx" command does not work). As I see at http://fcp.surfsite.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=85741&forum=12&post_id=383045 the same error message occured before, to other testers. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-0.0.15-17.20091105gite1c2efd.fc12.x86_64 How reproducible: In some cases. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install F11 2. Set F11 to boot in runlevel 3 3. Use "startx" command to verify that X interface is starting normally 3. Upgrade F11 to F12 via official DVD Actual results: X interface won't start after upgrade. Expected results: X interface should start normally. Additional info: Putting the system in default runlevel 5 only leads to a blinking line on screen, instead of graphical desktop.

Remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf, something's configured your system to use the "nv" driver, which can't work with nouveau kernel modesetting enabled. Not a nouveau bug, but if it was something during the upgrade that reconfigured your xorg.conf, it could belong elsewhere.
"(II) Primary Device is: PCI 04@00:00:0 The PCI device has a kernel module claiming it." Ben, that rather looks to me like he had the NVIDIA proprietary driver enabled, and didn't have the RPM Fusion testing repos enabled during his upgrade so didn't get the updated NVIDIA driver for F12 installed. Reporter, can you say whether this is the case? Did you have the NVIDIA proprietary driver installed on your F11 systems? Thanks. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
Hello, @Adam No, for the X part, I've only installed Fedora official packages (from official repositories). I use other components from rpmfusion, such as vlc. @Ben Thanks for your advice, I've solved the problem by deleting /etc/X11/xorg.conf completely. Please let me know if I may perform other tests, in order to help - I'll gladly do it... Best regards, Răzvan
Adam: I added code in nv/vesa to guard against starting them while nouveau KMS was in control of the card, and that message is from there. It's much better than having the system die horribly when two very different drivers are fighting for control of the hw :) The problem is for people with "nv" in xorg.conf, unless they boot with "nomodeset", or change xorg.conf to nouveau, they'll hit this issue. But, I don't see we can do better than we currently do. Răzvan: Glad to hear it works :) Are you happy to close this?
ben: ah, gotcha. right, I don't think we can safely mung people's xorg.conf file on upgrade, it doesn't seem like a right thing to do. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
Reporter, per Comment 4, is this issue resolved to your satisfaction? (May we close it?) -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
@Chris Hello, Deleting /etc/X11/xorg.conf works for me, because I only use stock, automatically-configured xorg.conf files. *For me* , this bug may be closed. However, people with heavily hand-crafted configuration files will probably find unacceptable to delete them and redo work from scratch. Please ask one of those people before taking a final decision. Many thanks, Răzvan
There's really nothing safe we can do about this. We can't go arbitrarily changing the driver defined in the configuration file.
