https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=751662 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=751662#c0 Summary: Weird behavior when allowing display driver to upgrade with card ATI Radeon HD 5870 (64 bit OS) Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.4 Version: Factory Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.4 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: X.Org AssignedTo: bnc-team-xorg-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: reg@seowebsales.com QAContact: xorg-maintainer-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- Created an attachment (id=480820) --> (http://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=480820) Settings 1 User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:10.0.2) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/10.0.2 The version of the software that works for the driver is 8.892-1 and every version after that doesn't work. The currently available latest version is 8.950-1. The driver is called "fglrx_xpic_SUSE114 - X Window display driver for the AMD graphics accelerators". Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Upgrade the driver it will happen. 2. 3. Actual Results: It still starts up to the login screen. I couldn't see any errors in the logs unfortunately. However, what happens is that instead of all of my 6 screens showing in order (2 x 3 grid) they all say "freq. out of range" except screen 6. That screen shows almost as it should but the display memory seems to be corrupted because the nice smooth green you usually see just looks chopped up and moved around a little. Almost like parts of it had static interference. I can log in even though I cannot see the log in screen just by using known key presses to do so however doing so doesn't bring back the other 5 screens so I can't really do anything at all once logged in. Expected Results: Nothing to change, keep working as it does with older version of driver. I've attached the display driver settings in the form of images. -- 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.

It leaves me with the current version 8.950-1 and this other version I've never installed 8.930-1. The version I just upgraded from 8.892-1 is gone. I always do a complete disk image backup before I attempt a new version of the driver, fortunately, because if I didn't my system would be rendered unusable. -- 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.

Seems you've built the driver RPM manually (which is fine and not the culprit here AFAICS). For sure we're not responsible for regressions in the fglrx driver itself. Feel free to contact AMD instead. -- 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.
