After the first online update and reboot the screen is garbled and unresponsive, can't even get to text console. nomodeset helps (fbdev used) Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.2 Version: Factory Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 12.2 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: X.Org AssignedTo: bnc-team-xorg-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: Eduard.Avetisyan@desy.de QAContact: xorg-maintainer-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:10.0.5) Gecko/20120605 Firefox/10.0.5 After installing RC1 and doing an online update, during reboot the screen gets garbled right after the chameleon picture appears (on first boot all was ok), to a level that nothing can be recognized on the screen. Escaping to text console works only if Ctrl-Alt-F1 is pressed early in the stage of bootup, afterwards it's fully stuck, can only hard reset. Booting up with 'nomodeset' option works (huge "thanks" to grub2 inventors, one now has to guess for hours where exactly which option goes to), but it seems that the fbdev driver is loaded to handle the graphics. Funny enough, fbdev results in twice as much FPS in glxgears test (1000) as nouveau managed after first boot with KMS (500 only). One more thing - if one simply searches on opensuse wiki for kms or nomodeset, nothing's found. Forums have some information, google helps as well, but wiki apparently only scans the page titles, not contents. This makes the mileage of finding the necessary options longer. In fact, with grub2 (especially text mode) a small info piece on 12.2 release page would be good. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.install, reboot - all fine (500FPS with nouveau driver) 2.online update, reboot (get stuck with "Power down" message) 3.bootup - screen garbled, no reaction on input 4.bootup with nomodeset option - all works, but fbdev is loaded (1000FPS, yet flickeryng) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
