Hardware: HP Compaq NC6000 laptop with Radeon 9600 graphics (PCI ID: 1002:4e50) openSUSE version: 11.4 i586 Screen is garbled when booting without nomodeset option. When using nomodeset, X doesn't start - segfaults as in Comment #10. Using options mentioned in Comment #15 helps, but of course without 3D acceleration. Another thing I noticed: if I boot into WindowsXP first and then reboot into openSUSE 11.4 (without using nomodeset), everything works ok.

The configuration from comment#29 had no success. With 'nomodeset' and 'radeonhd' my X-Server fails to start at all. I can combine 'nomodeset' with 'radeon' or 'fbdev' -- this works and survives opening an xterm. 'fbdev' without nomodeset is also sufficient. -- 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.

I have reverted all prior config changes so I'm running with the default setup in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d. Performance is much improved. (we may have found the bug from a year ago that killed radeonhd for the RS690M) The only thing I see is 'momentary' screen distortion (like a garbled frame or two) when kde ksplash starts, and then when you 'test screen saver' from the kde control panel. The emphasis is on 'momentary'. After the modes are switched (or whatever happens in those two instances), the display is fine. I'm marking the 'provides neeeded information' box. If you want/need more information from others, please just uncheck it and I won't re-check it.

When updating the Mesa 4546.noarch patch using Software Update in Gnome Shell, I get the following error message: patch:Mesa-4546.noarch conflicts with Mesa.x86_64 < 7.10.2-7.31 provided by Mesa-7.10-1.3.x86_64 I can apply the update using YaST but I have a problem after I reboot the system and log in to my account. When I click on the 'Activities' label, or some of the icons on the top panel, the screen flickers once but then everything appears to be normal. However,when I try and click again, a new screen appears stating there is an unrecoverable error and asks me to log out and try again. This does not happen when I click on the Date/Calender label on the middle of the panel, or the User/Account label on the far right of the panel-they work fine. I've tried to find an answer to the problem on the forums but with no luck. I'm new to OpenSUSE so there could be a simple fix that I'm not aware of. Is this a known problem or can anyone help me find a solution?
