Description Lars Kellogg-Stedman 2011-06-10 19:43:12 UTC
Description of problem:

I'm running Fedora 15 on a Dell Optiplex 980, which has the following video card:

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV620 LE [Radeon HD 3450]

This uses the RADEON driver:

[    38.150] (II) LoadModule: "radeon"
[    38.174] (II) Loading /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/radeon_drv.so
[    38.174] (II) Module radeon: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
[    38.174]    compiled for 1.10.1, module version = 6.14.99
[    38.174]    Module class: X.Org Video Driver
[    38.174]    ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 10.0
[    38.174] (II) RADEON: Driver for ATI Radeon chipsets:

When the system boots, I get (a) garbage displayed on screen and (b) the monito(s) go into power saving mode when I attempt to switch to another virtual console.  I've attached a picture of the screen in this state to this ticket.

That funny set of four stripes in the lower right is the cursor.

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

xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.14.1-1.20110504gita6d2dba6.fc15.x86_64

How reproducible:

This happens reliably on boot.  Running "telinit 3" followed by "telinit 5" to restart the X server appears to correct the problem.

Thanks for the bug report.  We have reviewed the information you have provided above, and there is some additional information we require that will be helpful in our diagnosis of this issue.

Please add drm.debug=0x04 to the kernel command line, restart computer, and attach

* your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf, if available),
* X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log)
* output of the dmesg command, and
* system log (/var/log/messages)

to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link above.

We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information.

Thanks in advance.
