RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

login screen picture

Description of problem:
On one of my laptops which uses openchrome video driver RHEL 6.2 screen looks garbled. Same does 6.1 too. 

Login window is not centred and bottom panel is missing, the screen is clearly readable. 

When I login into GNOME the screen is not readable. Main menu is shown 4-5 times repeatedly. 

See screenshots.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.32-214.el6.i686
xorg-x11-drv-openchrome-0.2.904-4.el6.i686
libdrm-2.4.25-2.el6.i686


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. # lspci  | grep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. CN700/P4M800 Pro/P4M800 CE/VN800 [S3 UniChrome Pro] (rev 01)

2. Install RHEL 6.2 snap #4 Workstation i386
3. No xorg.conf, use auto config
4. Boot and login into GNOME.
  
Actual results:
Screen is not usable.

Expected results:
Everything works.

xorg.conf

With this xorg.conf and changing driver to vesa I'm able to use my screen again.

Not a regression, moving to 6.3.
