Description Richard Burton 2011-05-29 17:54:35 UTC
Description of problem:
Upon boot a fedora 'eyeball' shows up. The screen looks like a bugscreen is over it and there is a horizontal black line in the upper right hand corner (looks like a major defect in my LCD  screen-- but it is not). Also the eyeball does not grow/open like it did in F14 during boot. Following this screen is a screen filled with random underbars and boxes. Looks like the video memory did not get initialized.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
F15 latest 

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot computer
2.
3.
  
Actual results:


Expected results:
Boot screen which does not look like the computer is dying a horrible death.

Additional info:
Computer boots fine. But it makes one feel like the video card crashed.
Graphics on Gnome3 are listed as Gallium 0.4 on ATI RT350. It is ATI, but Gallium RT350 does not appear familiar. This is a Lenovo T42 2373-9ZU.

Comment 1 Richard Burton 2011-05-29 18:22:38 UTC
My graphics card is ATI Radon 9600

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-07 18:24:43 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached 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, you are encouraged to click on
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that
version of Fedora.

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:
