From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705) Description of problem: The graphic installation is ok, setup ok, my card is supported, but when X starts, there is a lot of verticals bar every 3mm, that make the fonts and icons bad (unreadable)... there is no errors in log file, and also all seems work well, only those bars... Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. startx 1. Xconfigurator 2. All ok, when try if all work, i can see those bars Actual Results: when X start, at boot or manually, i always see those transparent vertical bars that delete the fonts under it and the icons. Expected Results: i want only use X for develop, no need 3d acceleration, just only a simple graphic mode in 1024x768... Additional info: Xfree 4.2.0-8 (from installation CD) Kernel 2.4.18-3 (from installation CD) kernel 2.4.18-10 (from up2date) I tried to upgrade the DRI with the last version, but nothing change... Notebook Compaq presario 2813TC (from 2800 series) with ATI Mobility Radeon 7500 M7 32MB ram DDR, 30GB, video 14" 1024x768
i check on google.com, there is a lot of peoples that have the same problem as me with redhat, mandrake and freebsd, also with compaq (as mine) and asus. Seems a problem with Xfree, not a problem with redhat, but i need only a X for develop, no need 3d accelerator or something so, just only a video in 1024x768 16bit is ok, if you can find a solution or just tell me how to configure a VGA that can work. I used xf86config: Generic SVGA Generic VGA Radeon (generic) Radeon 7500 Mobility M7 Radeon 7500 nothing change... also changed monitor: Generic Laptop monitor 1024x768 Generic Laptop monitor 800x600 Generic Laptop monitor 640x480 Generic VGA monitor Generic SVGA .. and others that i forgot...
Without the ability to reproduce this problem on the hardware it is happening on, there isn't any way to easily fix it. Please report this bug upstream to XFree86 directly on the xpert mailing list, and xfree86 bug report address. I do not have access to a Radeon Mobility M7 laptop. Defering bug report until problem is fixed by upstream XFree86 or a publically available patch shows up.
